An informal assessment is conducted, combined with an interview with the parents. It is required that both parents are available for the interview, unless there are any extenuating circumstances, which should be brought under the principal’s notice. Assessment is generally based on level of confidence in communication, concept of letters/colors/numbers, speaking and reading skills for language of instruction i.e English and development of motor skills.
Students beyond Early Years are given subject tests according to their class levels. Subject tests include English, Mathematics and Urdu. Passing criteria includes English 50% with overall 50%. Prospective candidates will be interviewed along with their parents/guardian to observe and evaluate qualities that may not be evident in the applicant’s examination scores or application forms. These qualities include an open and inclusive attitude toward those from different countries, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds, clarity of thought and vision, and an awareness of one’s goals for themselves and their communities. The school reserves the right to determine the appropriate age group placement of each applicant. (Rupani Academy)
