Assessment at Dar Jana International School

At DJIS, assessment is more than just grades, it’s a powerful tool for learning and growth. We use a variety of evidence-based assessments to support your child’s success and help them reach their full potential.

What We Assess
Holistic View

What We Assess

We assess learning in three key ways:

  • Assessment FOR Learning: Providing ongoing feedback to guide instruction and help students understand what they need to learn next.
  • Assessment AS Learning: Empowering students to monitor their own learning, reflect on their progress, and set goals.
  • Assessment OF Learning: Measuring what students have learned at the end of a unit or course, often through projects, presentations, or exams.
