Academics
The Seeds Of Learning
A joyful and secure environment gives the children in our pre-primary the freedom to be curious, to wonder, to find their own trajectory of exploration while making sense of their new world. Learning in this way transforms them into lifelong learners.
Our academics are designed to EMPOWER & INSPIRE the genius within each child. Academic excellence, problem-solving skills, character-development and social skills are all a part of our well-designed programs which are not only age-appropriate but also encourage our students to be responsible individuals with a high emotional quotient as well as intelligence quotient. The learner is at the heart of our curriculum model, with all our resources, expertise and commitment directed towards providing an excellent and holistic education to every child in our care.

Assessment Policy
Anand Niketan believes in Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). Assessment is “for” learning and not “of” learning. CCE is the basis for making inferences about learning and development of the students. It is the process of detecting, selecting, collecting, analyzing, interpreting and using information to enhance students learning.
- From Grade 6 onwards evaluation is carried out considering weekly/ unit tests, half yearly exam, annual exam and internal assessments.
- Attendance on prescribed important days also counts towards the students' marks.
- The assessment pattern for grade 6 to 9 is as given below:
ASSESSMENT PATTERN
| Unit Test / Weekly Test – 1 | 25 Marks | Unit Test 2 / Weekly Test – 2 | 25 Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| – | – | Internal Assessments | 10 Marks |
| – | – | Internal Assessments | 10 Marks |
| Half Year Exam | 50 Marks | Internal Assessments | 80 Marks |
| Total | 75 Marks | Internal Assessments | 125 Marks |
The annual consolidated result is calculated out of 200 marks and then averaged to 100.
Students writing the ICSE and ISC Board Examination are expected to observe the following rules:
- The minimum attendance required to qualify for the board exam is 75%. Any student absent for more than the prescribed days without valid reason will not be permitted to appear for the exam.
- Students must appear for certain tests and examinations and preliminary examinations before writing the Board examination. The school will not recommend any student to appear for Board Examination unless he/she fulfills the school's academic requirement.
