Charting Student Progress with Purpose

At New LDR International School, we believe that assessments are not merely tests, but tools for growth, reflection, and academic refinement. Our carefully designed examination structure is aligned with CBSE standards and aims to track progress, identify strengths, and support continuous improvement throughout the academic year.

“Assessment is the engine that drives student learning.”

Term-Wise Assessment Structure

Our academic year is divided into two terms, each consisting of two key evaluation stages—Periodic Assessments (PA) and Summative Assessments (SA).

Term 1: Building Foundations

1. Periodic Assessment 1 (PA-1)

          •        Month: July

          •        Focus: Class tests, quizzes, oral work, assignments, and project-based learning

          •        Purpose: To assess early understanding and guide learning pathways

2. Summative Assessment 1 (SA-1)

          •        Month: September

          •        Syllabus: Full Term-1 syllabus

          •        Purpose: Cumulative evaluation of student performance in the first half of the academic year

Term 2: Deepening Understanding

3. Periodic Assessment 2 (PA-2)

          •        Month: December

          •        Focus: Mid-term review of concepts through written and activity-based tests

4. Summative Assessment 2 (SA-2)

          •        Month: March

          •        Syllabus: Complete Term-2 syllabus

Supporting Student Success

We ensure that parents are kept in the loop with regular updates, report cards, PTMs, and feedback sessions. This three-way partnership between the school, parents, and students helps ensure academic excellence and emotional well-being.
