SCHOOL POLICY
The school has a definite policy for Project Work/Home Work. All students from class III onwards are expected to complete one project in a year, neatly illustrated typed and approved by a faculty member .The school insists on completing Assignments and assigned homework which is periodically displayed on the website. Not doing Homework and skipping test will result in lowering the grades of the child .The child will have to complete the assignment in his/her extra time.
