Examination  
 

Pre School & Pre Primary classes

The evaluation for Pre School & Pre Primary classes is continuous and comprehensive assessment of the growth and development of the child in various areas of learning set in the curriculum. Its aim is to measure the level attained by the child in different areas, continuously throughout the year. The curriculum emphasis on the overall growth and development of the child. Our curriculum is designed to encourage learning outcomes that focus on nurturing children to develop holistically, morally, aesthetically and globally including knowledge acquisition and academic skills.

  • The academic session is divided into three terms:

Term I – April to August

Term II – September to December

Term III – January to March

  • There will be no formal exam for Pre School/Pre Primary classes. Child’s progress is measured by the teacher’s ongoing observation over the whole year, and not on a single test. Each term assessment Progress report card is based on the continuous evaluation based on class activities, worksheets, assignments on day to day basis. 

  • To enhance vocabulary and confidence amongst children mass activities are held throughout the year.

Assessment is the lens for understanding student learning, identifying invisible lacunae and helping educators improve their teaching approaches. DAV Public School uses a transdisciplinary approach to utilize all possible resources, providing maximum exposure to its students for developing numerous competencies by exploring the concepts from various perspectives and multiple disciplines.
