EXAMINATION & ASSESSMENT:
An academic year of the school is divided into three terms i.e. autumn, spring and summer. The School year is from September to June. Exams are conducted in December, March and June respectively.
In all classes, students sit for regular assessments. These take many forms such as examinations, coursework essays, group work and practical exercises, quizzes and students’ projects. The completed submissions play a vital role in measuring student progress.
All assessments must be the creative and original work of the student where, for example, essays written are in their own words and not copied (lifted) from a book, lecture notes or the Internet.
Many courses include large elements of teamwork whereby students are asked to work cooperatively. The student group may then be asked to provide a collective assessment at the end of the process.

• Develop original skills and give evidence of competency.
• Present ideas using their own words.
• Apply and critique those ideas.
• Analyze, evaluate, discuss, describe and summarize the work of someone else using their own words and examples.
