Ethos

The St Ann’s School’s academic ethos focuses on encouraging the students to utilise their talents, and develop their intellectual and creative interests so that they remain committed for the rest of their professional and personal lives. The students need to understand their own culture and history, as well as their own geographical, scientific and spiritual theory and language. The school’s academic environment is constructed such that the students are able to develop their knowledge and interest in these areas in an international context and around the global world in which they are born and will live.

Examinations

The ability of the students are tested by periodic tests and examinations. There are three main examinations (quarterly, half yearly and annual) and unit tests held during each academic year.

A minimum of 50% marks in all subjects is required for a pass. Promotion to the next class is given on the basis of overall performance of the student in all examinations.
Minimum attendance of 85% of the total number of working days is required for a child to get promotion. The decision of the principal with regard to promotion is final.

Progress report will be issued after each examination through PTM. Re-examination will not be conducted if a student remains absent for any examinations for any reason whatsoever. No student will be admitted to any examination with fee arrears.
