Teaching Methodology

How we teach at BIS

Method

Inquiry-led Pedagogy

Learning starts with questions — students investigate, hypothesise, test and reflect.

Method

Concept-based Curriculum

Beyond facts, we teach transferable ideas that connect across subjects and years.

Method

Differentiated Learning

Every child gets appropriate stretch — through levelled tasks, mentoring and choice.

Method

Assessment for Learning

Regular, low-stakes assessments that inform teaching, not just measure students.

Method

Digital Integration

Smart boards, learning management platforms and coding embedded in daily classes.

Method

Reflective Practice

Learners keep portfolios, set goals and self-assess — building agency and metacognition.

Assessment System

Measuring what matters

Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) aligned to CBSE, blending written, oral, project and performance-based assessments.

Formative assessments every 4-6 weeks to gauge understanding and adjust teaching.

Summative examinations in December and March, mirroring CBSE board patterns for Grades IX-XII.

Portfolio reviews twice a year — celebrating growth, not just grades.
