EXAMINATION

A continuous and comprehensive evaluation is done with the help of various testing tools. The three term-ending examinations are interposed to monitor the child's progress.

SCHOOL FEE

Quality education costs money. In the absence of government funds and other financial aids, our school finds it increasingly difficult to meet the financial demands made on it from time to time. In view of this, parents are advised against part payment and are expected to pay on stipulated time. Monthly school fees will have to be paid by the 10th of every month by day scholars. Failure to do so will attract penalty.
