Our Academic Performance

Class performance in a Science Unit Test conducted at the beginning of year (NCERT chapters 1 & 2)

With every test/quiz students get a color code or a star based on their performance. Students strive to

get into the green zone or get a star. The color coding scheme helps the parents to keep track of their

child’s performance and it also builds a growth mindset in kids as with ever test/quiz they try getting a

better color code than their last one or maintaining their previous color code. This kind of result is shared

with the students after every test/quiz where stars, greens and children who have shown growth and

shown consistency are applauded in the class by their peers.

Class performance in a Science Unit Test conducted at the end of year (NCERT chapters 9 & 11)
