Curriculum & Evaluation

Curriculum & Evaluation

At Alpha G.K. Matriculation Higher Secondary School, our curriculum is designed not just to meet academic benchmarks, but to shape well-rounded, knowledgeable, and responsible individuals. We follow a comprehensive and structured curriculum based on the Tamil Nadu Matriculation and Higher Secondary Board guidelines, enriched with innovative practices, digital tools, and value-based education.

Our academic strategy is complemented by Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) — a proven system that monitors both scholastic and co-scholastic development of every student throughout the academic year.

Academic Curriculum

Our syllabus is dynamic, interactive, and progressive. It integrates core subjects like:

  • Languages: English, Tamil, and Hindi (with certification support from Dakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha)
  • Mathematics
  • Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
  • Social Science
  • Computer Science & Information Technology
  • General Knowledge & Moral Education

The curriculum is supported by smart classrooms, labs, field visits, and project-based learning, ensuring concept clarity, critical thinking, and creativity.

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)

CCE is an integral part of our assessment approach, aiming to:

  • Evaluate all aspects of a student’s development — cognitive, emotional, physical, and social
  • Promote regular learning rather than one-time exam preparation
  • Minimize academic stress and encourage consistent performance

Promotion Policy

  • Promotion is based on the cumulative performance across Formative and Summative Assessments.
  • Students must pass in both academic and co-scholastic criteria to be promoted.
  • No special tests will be conducted for absentees. Failure to attend exams without valid reasons affects rankings and progression.
  • A student failing twice in the same class will not be allowed to continue in the school.

Progress Reports

Parents receive detailed progress reports after each test and examination cycle, including:

  • Academic performance
  • Teacher feedback
  • Areas of improvement
  • Suggestions for support at home

These reports must be signed and returned within 3 days, reinforcing a strong parent-school partnership.

Evaluation Structure

Assessments are divided into:

  • Formative Assessments (FA): 40 Marks
    These include class tests, quizzes, assignments, oral work, practicals, and projects.

At Alpha G.K., assessment is not a pressure, but a path to progress. We evaluate not just how much students know, but how well they grow — intellectually, ethically, emotionally, and creatively.

“True education assesses the whole child — not just the answer sheet.”
