Teaching Approach

We follow a simple, structured approach: clear chalk-and-board explanations, guided practice, neat notebook work, reading periods in the library, and regular reinforcement through homework and short quizzes. Group activities, charts, and map work help students express learning in their own words.

Assessment & Promotion

Assessment is continuous and age-appropriate. Across two terms, students are evaluated through periodic tests, classwork, notebooks, projects (as applicable), and attendance. Parents receive timely feedback to support study habits at home.

    Example weight: Periodic Tests 40%, Classwork/Notebook 30%, Projects 20%, Attendance/Conduct 10%

Homework & Study Support

Library & Reading Programme

The school library supports daily reading with age-wise storybooks and periodicals. Students maintain reading logs, exchange books regularly, and present short narrations to build confidence and vocabulary.

Physical Education & Activities

The school playground hosts morning drills, games periods, and simple fixtures that build fitness, teamwork, and discipline. Regular participation is encouraged for every child.
