A variety of extracurricular activities take place during school hours. Parents receive the activity list in the first week of June. Students in Grades I to V attend activities during the last block on Fridays, while Grades VI and above participate on Saturdays.

Various clubs viz., Literary Club, ECO Club, Heritage Club, Astro Club, Theatre Club, Quiz Club, Cookery Club, Robotics and Personality Development.

Homework is a very important part of the education process. It encourages children to study outside the school, helping them towards a point where they take responsibility for their own learning. It involves parents in their child’s education and, as much research indicates, this is as important to a child’s success at school. It allows children to practise work taught in class. It develops skills in using the library and other learning sources.The board discourages giving Home work for classes I & II. Hence Homework would be kept to a minimum of 10 to 15 minutes.
However the higher classes will have Home work on a regular basis. The involvement of parents in this area is very important. We know that children’s success at school is closely linked to their parents’ interest and involvement in their education. So working in partnership with parents is very important to us. Parents are requested not to do the child’s work or teach. If the child is unable to do the homework, he/she should get back to the teacher.Reading of daily lessons, learning new vocabulary and handwriting practice should happen everyday.
Assessment is an ongoing activity in the classroom and in most cases children are unaware that they have undergone a process of assessment as it is built in to their daily programme. This is an important feature of classroom life as teachers use the results to determine the effectiveness of teaching, the mastery of particular skills and concepts by children and to diagnose individual strengths and weaknesses and to decide what a child should be taught next. Assessment can also be undertaken in class, as a group or on an individual basis. It must be both purposeful and manageable enabling all pupils to fulfil their potential in all areas of the curriculum.
Report on conduct application and progress will be entered in the Achievement Record at the end of each term.
We have a continuous assessment system. Every student will be assessed as per CCE (Continuous Classroom Evaluation) which would comprise of assessment tests (written as well as oral), assignments, presentations, activities, projects, worksheets. It is also based on regularity and competence in presentation of class work and home work. This would require them to work in a regular and systematic manner.
Eligibility for promotion is based on the cumulative performance in all the tests / and continuous assessments conducted during the academic year. Hence all students should ensure that they do not miss any of the tests.
From Grade IV, Two Semester system is followed, two Formative assessments and one Summative assessment in each semester.
Formative Assessment : Class work, Home work, Oral Questions, Slip tests, Quiz, Projects, Assignments, Group Discussions etc., Summative Assessment : At the end of each semester
