PREFACE Education is the discovery of journey and growth. The Indian Heights School stands committed in providing holistic quality education for which we are constantly striving to improve and introduce innovations in our existing system. Educomp Smart Classroom is a step towards this to evolve the idea of technology as an effective teaching aid and learning tool. Curriculum assesses a total teaching learning program based on overall improvement, syllabus, teaching pattern, methodology and assessment. In short it provides a framework of knowledge and understanding as appropriate to a particular level. Our curriculum is child centric and comprehensive. It seeks to create a balance between physical, emotional, social & spiritual growth along with academics. Due importance is given to both Scholastic and Co-scholastic areas with regard to attributes such as Life Skills, Attitude, Values, Sports and Games as well as Co-curricular activities. As per the guidelines of the Central Board of Secondary Education, we follow Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation System. It is in the classrooms that learners can analyze and evaluate their experiences, learn to doubt, question to investigate, and think independently. Continuous and Comprehensive System covers all aspects of students’ development. The objective of CCE is to bring continuous improvement in the performance of the learners through regular assignments and evaluations. In Primary classes the assessment is based on regular Ongoing Evaluations and Internal Assessments. Evaluation is reported according to 5 Point Grading Scale. For classes VI onwards, assessments are both Formative and Summative. A 9 Point Grading Scale is followed.

The syllabus has been designed and planned keeping in mind the ‘Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation’ which is a useful proposition for overall growth of students through continuous diagnosis remediation, encouragement and appreciation. The facilitators in the school are putting in their concerted efforts. However, it does require the coordinated effort as well as active participation of the parents. We would appreciate the parents’ unstinted support and involvement as had been in the past towards the multifaceted personality development of the child in this Academic Session also.
