At Vidhya International Academy, we use a variety of assessments to evaluate student progress and understanding. Formative assessments, such as quizzes, classwork, and homework, provide ongoing feedback and help guide both teaching and learning. Summative assessments, including end-of-term exams and final projects, measure students’ overall learning against established standards. Performance-based assessments, such as presentations and creative projects, offer students a chance to showcase their practical application of knowledge. Midterm exams take place midway through each term to assess the material covered up to that point. Final exams occur at the end of each term and are designed to evaluate students' comprehensive understanding of the entire course content. Additionally, standardized tests like the SATs and ACTs prepare students for college admissions and serve as benchmarks for academic achievement. For specific schedules and dates, students and parents can refer to the school calendar or contact the administration office.
Assignments and examinations are key components of our educational approach. Assignments are designed to reinforce classroom learning and encourage students to explore topics in greater depth. These include regular homework, projects, and research tasks that help students apply their knowledge and develop critical thinking skills. Examinations, both formative and summative, assess students' understanding and mastery of the material.
Progress reports are typically issued at regular intervals throughout the academic year, such as at the end of each term or semester. They include information on grades, attendance, and participation, as well as feedback from teachers on student progress. This comprehensive overview helps parents and guardians stay informed about their child's educational development and supports meaningful conversations between teachers and families.
We encourage our students to engage in research and development activities as a key part of their learning journey. Our program is designed to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and innovation by providing students with opportunities to explore and develop their own research projects. Students are supported in various ways, including access to resources, guidance from mentors, and opportunities to present their findings. From conducting scientific experiments to developing technology solutions or exploring social issues, students can choose projects that align with their interests and academic goals.
