Montessori

Though the school follows a no pass no fail system in the Montessori section, regular assessments will be conducted to ensure that the students achieve age related academic and non-academic proficiencies.

Note:

All assessment with regard to the academic status of the students shall be done in marks and overall assessment will be given in grades.

The students are expected to come well prepared for all examinations and tests. On no account the use of unfair means will be condoned.

Absence during examination will be viewed seriously and will affect the promotion of students.

Presence of the students throughout the academic year is obligatory as promotion is based on the day to day work of the students throughout the year which is evaluated through Periodic Assessment and also on the performance in the Terminal Assessments. Any student who absents himself/herself except in case of inability due to sickness and the like, will have to run the risk of being detained in the same class. Request for re-tests will not be considered.

Progress Reports will be issued to the parents after each assessment and parents are to meet the Principal to discuss remedial measures if the student has not reached the desired level of performance.

No student who has less than 85% attendance in Classes I to XII and 75% attendance in Montessori to his/her credit in a particular academic year shall be permitted to appear for the Terminal Assessment. She/he will not be promoted to the next higher class even if he/she obtains pass mark in overall grading.
