Assessment Overview

ASSESMENT01

We want you to know exactly how your child is doing — not just once a term, but all the way through it. At IHS Al Garhoud, assessment isn’t something that happens to your child. It happens with them, quietly, every day, as they learn. What you receive isn’t a number. It’s a clear picture: what your child has mastered, what they’re working on, and how we’re helping them get there.

We don't sit your child down for a test. We walk with them through it all — gently, and often. How they build with blocks. How they listen to a story. How they play alongside a friend. These everyday moments tell us more than any worksheet could.

Over the term, we build a picture of your child across the three things that matter most at this age: how they think, how they feel and relate to others and how their body and movement are growing. At the end of each term, it all comes together in one report — a real reflection of who your child is becoming.

From Grade 1, your child's learning is never a mystery to you. Alongside everyday classroom assessment, we use a small number of specialist learning platforms, chosen for each age and subject, to see clearly where your child is thriving and where a little more support would help.
You won't just receive a mark. You'll receive a clear picture of what your child has mastered in every subject, shared with you regularly, so you always know what's next. At the end of each term, it all comes together in a full progress report.

Platforms we use, by grade:

Rosen Level-Up (KG - Grade 2), Open Door for Maths and Science (Grade 3-4), Achieve3000 (Grade 3-4) and Etqaan (Grade 1-4).
