PRIMARY (G1 to G5)
In Primary, we take strength from the very best practices of international standards integrated with the Indian CBSE curriculum, which together, with the expertise of well qualified teachers, deploying the very latest methods of teaching and learning, offer a curriculum that enables pupils to achieve their academic potential and ensures that each child becomes a life-long learner.
Primary curriculum follows a pedagogy that is based on the principles of holistic development of every child and involves learning activities that make students ‘think’ and ‘do’ in the process of learning. It aims to develop natural curiosity and foster a desire to learn among students.
The well-structured curriculum builds on prior learning of concepts and skills which provides students with varied opportunities to strengthen and further their skills.
Students develop their ability to apply knowledge through practical tasks, problem solving, investigation skills and using oral and written language. Personal and social skills are strengthened as they work with their peers and take responsibility for their own learning.

Assessment
Assessment plays an important part in helping parents and practitioners to recognize children’s progress, understand their needs, and to plan activities and support.
KG
Ongoing assessment (also known as formative assessment) is an integral part of the learning and development process in early years. It involves practitioners observing children to understand their level of achievement, interests and learning styles, and to then shape learning experiences for each child reflecting those observations. There are no formal tests or written examinations in KG. Student Progress Report Card is based on evaluation of skills mastered by students over the year.
Primary and Secondary
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation is followed from grade 1 onwards and feedback is provided regularly to the parents. Assessments are conducted periodically. The average of the assessments is considered for final promotion.
Assessments consists of two major components namely Formative Assessments (FA) and Summative Assessments (SA). Formative assessments are an ongoing evaluation of the learning skills acquired by the student over the course of the year. FA are in the form of cyclic tests, paper pen worksheets, reading – speaking – listening tasks, maps, projects etc. Summative assessments are the end of term examinations that happen twice in the year i.e. mid-term and final.
For Grades 1 to 3, only formative assessments are conducted, and the scores are converted to grades in the Student Report Card. From Grade 4 onwards, marks of both FA and SA are computed to give the final term scores and grades.
International Benchmarking Tests
The UAE National Agenda for Education is a strategic initiative introduced by H.H.Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai. KHDA introduced the UAE National Agenda Parameter in 2015-16 as a method for measuring and monitoring Dubai’s private schools’ improvement towards achieving their National Agenda targets. The parameter requires all schools to participate in international and external benchmarking assessments on an annual basis (other than PISA and TIMSS) and use them to monitor progress in meeting these targets.
The school conducts IBT tests for students from Grade 3 onwards e.g., CAT4, ASSET, ACER etc.
