Assessment and Evaluation
At Kannadivappa International School, we believe in a robust assessment system that supports our educational philosophy of learning through experimentation and collaboration. Our assessment practices are designed to foster intellectual growth, critical thinking, and a love for lifelong learning. We aim to create an enriching experience for our students by integrating field experiences, integrated learning projects, and hands-on activities, ensuring that learning is not just teacher-driven but a shared journey of discovery.
Types of Assessment

These are conducted throughout the academic year to monitor student progress and provide ongoing feedback. They include quizzes, classwork, and participation.
Summative Assessments
Conducted at the end of each term, these assessments evaluate student learning against the curriculum standards.
Continuous Assessments
