Glendale Academy is a CBSE school. The teaching methodology, however, is eclectic and draws a lot from the theory of Multiple Intelligence and Brain Compatible Learning.
We also have Cambridge International Examination (CIE) accreditation, which is most suitable for students whose parents are globally mobile or those seeking to do undergraduate courses abroad. This system fosters self-learning and offers a wide choice of subjects to students even at Grade X. |

Does the school provide any kind of Value/Life skills education? |
| |
|
| |
In line with the School's motto, "Sow a Character, Reap a Destiny", our aim is to ensure that students grow up with strong core values, refined social conditioning and a peace-loving, spiritual demeanor.
Towards this, we provide Life Skills and Value Education as a part of the teaching curriculum. Our uniquely designed life skills development studio serves as a finishing school giving the students an opportunity to experiment with sewing, culinary skills, table manners, self-grooming, painting, interiors, ikebana, clay modeling, performing arts and others. They also learn to be pro-active citizens as they learn to do community service, visit old-age homes, host orphans, organize cleanliness drives, and use eco-friendly products and show concern for all living things. |

What are the methods adopted for assessing the students? How often? |
| |
|
| |
- Students from Grade I - V are continuously evaluated as a part of the school routine. Neither the parents nor the students are intimated about the assessment schedule in order to avoid stress.
- There are end-of-term exams for these classes for same reason.
- Class VI upwards, there is a shift in the evaluation to integrate the students into the mainstream assessment methodology.
- They would have formative assessments which would include Role Play, Crosswords, Flow Charts, Book Reviews, Field Trips, Class Work/Home Work Assignments, Group Work, Surveys, Project Work, Worksheets, Games and Multiple Choice Questions.
- The homework is designed to reinforce learning. A detailed Report Card is given at the end of every term (twice a year), providing an aggregate of the child's performance through each term.
