Waldorf schools discourage grading or any marking system until the upper grades. In place of a numerical or letter ranking system, the teacher writes a full evaluation of every child, providing a thorough and comprehensive picture of the child. These evaluation reports are written in narrative form and cover, in detail, the academic, social, and artistic progress of the child and any challenges they may be facing.
Interim reports are shared with parents every term during scheduled parent/teacher conferences, and a comprehensive report of the entire year is provided at the close of the school year. Parent-teacher communication is strongly encouraged, and meetings to discuss your child can be scheduled at any time during the year with a prior appointment with the class/subject teacher.
This system of evaluation honours the whole human being and their individuality. Such reports provide parents with a full, well-rounded picture of their child’s school experience and their development.
Students in Grade X write their pre-board exams in school before appearing for their final examinations conducted by the CBSE Board. Separate grading is given according to internal evaluation along with the CBSE Board results.
