Study Homework and Study Habits

Students reading in the library

Homework greatly solidifies and reinforces concepts taught during the school day. It also helps children learn responsibility, self-reliance and time management skills. Parents are expected to spend quality time (1–2 hours) with the ward regularly. As children reach higher classes (6–10), they should spend a minimum of 5 to 6 hours on studies at home.

Progress The Year's Work

For promotion, the year's record of work is taken into account along with the marks of the Annual Examination. The year's work consists of the assessments and the terminal examination; the day-to-day written work, including composition, homework and daily lessons; and the individual traits of character, such as good conduct, regularity and responsibility, cooperativeness and sociability.
