Learning in Cider happens in a subconscious way for we believe in learning through pleasure . With the professional blending of academic and extra-curricular activities, we try to ensure holistic development of our scholars in an environment which is free of stress .
As regards academics, a great teacher- student rapport persists here in CIDER . Teachers take exclusive care of students through regular monitoring. A session is split into two parts: Half Yearly and Final Term Exam. CIDER is the only English medium school in the entire city where monthly report card of assessment is shown to parents so that students’ progress can be measured clinically. Parents are also notified through diary notes regarding the grades students are getting in the monthly test by respective subject teachers so that corrective measures can be taken quickly and timely . This way, CIDER has been able to lower the students’ failure rate to a bare minimum.
Evaluation of students is done through assessment, marked class works, projects, and so on. In addition, extra classes of relatively weaker students continue round the year. We believe in bringing out the latent talent in each student through the above mentioned ways. So, to us, CIDER is a temple of learning totally committed to students’ uplift.
