Exams and Mini-Exams

All learners write a full examination at the end of the second and fourth terms. Matrics also write a preparatory examination at the end of the third term.

Learners write tests on weekday mornings according to a set schedule. This approach encourages learners to maintain a consistent study pattern throughout the year and to revise their work regularly.

A year mark is calculated based on three continuous assessment cycles, together with the examinations. After each assessment cycle and examination, parents receive a report on the learner's progress, so that they can stay informed about their child's academic development.

Technology in the Classroom

While technology can never replace the role of a teacher, it is a valuable tool in modern teaching. Interactive whiteboards and visual projectors are used in the classroom to make lessons more interesting, visual and interactive.

We strive to use technology meaningfully in our teaching to enrich learners' learning experiences, promote understanding, and prepare them for an ever-changing world.
