Through our conversation with Suman Sharma, Founder Principal, we also got to know that their system provides learners, parents and educators with meaningful, valid feedback that helps learners identify the different needs required to recognize growth and achievement. Their five essential IB elements of assessment are knowledge, concepts, skills, learner profile and action. In continuation to our conversation, she adds “Some of these are done collaboratively where students act as active participants in the learning process, demonstrating their understanding through reflection with inclusion of peers and self-assessment where
appropriate”.
The school develops collaborative and teamwork skills by allowing their learners to explore themselves outside classrooms in activities that interest them. Their enrichment programs give students the opportunity to develop their vital future skills and some of them were shared by the school principal.
