Assessment Policy

Kindergarten

Assessment in Kindergarten is an essential part of the teaching and learning process. It helps educators understand the learning and developmental progress of young learners while serving as a foundation for planning, self-reflection, and collaboration. Assessments are primarily formative, occurring continuously during each unit, and are followed by summative assessments. These evaluations allow teachers to identify students' strengths and areas needing improvement. The findings are documented in reports and shared with parents periodically to ensure transparency and support.

Elementary School

In Elementary School, assessment continues to play a crucial role in understanding student learning and growth. Formative assessments are conducted regularly to monitor progress throughout each unit. These assessments lead to summative evaluations, which provide a comprehensive understanding of students' achievements and challenges. The results are recorded in detailed reports and communicated with parents at regular intervals. This systematic approach helps teachers, students, and parents collaborate effectively to support the child’s development.

Middle School

Grading and Reporting Procedures

Assessment in Middle School is integral to teaching and learning, focusing on collecting information about student progress in relation to identified learning outcomes. Teachers use assessments to help students recognize their strengths and areas for growth. The purpose and methods of assessment are clearly explained to students, ensuring they understand the process and objectives.

Middle School assessments encourage student involvement in self-assessment and provide feedback on thinking strategies, processes, and outcomes. Teachers implement a criterion-based model of assessment aligned with subject-specific objectives. Regular internal assessments and reporting help students and parents understand the criteria, prepare for final evaluations, and support overall development.

Varied assessment tasks include open-ended problem-solving activities, investigations, debates, tests, hands-on experiments, project-based learning, and reflective analyses, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of student learning.

High School

Grading and Reporting Procedures

In High School, grades are designed to reflect meaningful feedback and demonstrate student learning. They are based on students' ability to meet the Common Core State Standards. Final grades are determined by teachers’ professional analysis of student work using a prescribed grading scale.

Assessment in High School is a structured process that helps students demonstrate their knowledge and skills relative to learning objectives. It allows teachers and students to identify strengths and areas for improvement. Clear communication of the purpose and methods of assessment ensures students understand expectations.

High School assessments involve students in self-assessment and offer feedback on both their thinking processes and outcomes. Teachers follow a continuous assessment model throughout the program, guided by specified criteria aligned with subject objectives.

The assessment model emphasizes diverse and valid tasks, such as problem-solving activities, investigations, debates, tests, examinations, hands-on experiments, project-based learning, and reflective analyses. These approaches ensure students can demonstrate achievement according to established standards while preparing for final assessments and long-term development.
