Evaluation at Oakridge International School focuses on the child's all-round development. The Oakridge Touchstone System, contrary to the conventional system of marks or grades, describes the progress that the student is making with regard to learning and identifies areas for growth.
In a variety of learning areas, as a tool, it enables teachers, parents, pupils and stakeholders to reflect on the strengths and challenges. The Oakridge International School which follows the Oakridge Touchstone rating is supported by a continuous formative assessment done on a continuous basis. The five point rating scale is denoted by colors as below.
