Expat Stories

Being an OFW is not just about leaving... it's about breaking quietly. Night after night, she cries in a place no one sees- where only her pillow knows how much she misses home. Vida never wanted to leave. But sometimes, love for your children means choosing pain... so they won't have to. With trembling courage, she walked away from the only world she knew- carrying two names in her heart she whispered in every prayer. Hong Kong was not her dream. It was her sacrifice. And in the middle of loneliness, fear, and unanswered questions- she held on to one hope: "Lord... will You take care of me here?" Because all she ever wanted... was a chance to give her children a better life. HIGHEST RANK #16 AUG. 31, '16 Published June 3, 2016® Copyright © 2016 by E D E N All rights reserved.

Assessment We do not teach in order to test & neither do our students learn only for grades. For Nursery to Grade 2 Informative and observational assessments of students are taken and they are graded on a detailed rubric that helps the teachers and parents know about their progress. Till Grade 2 we do not have formal exams or checkpoints. For Grade 3 and above With the idea of incremental formal assessments in mind, our students take timed tests from Grade 3 onwards. They are month-end checkpoints aimed at getting the students accustomed to testing. The students also appear for year-end Summative checkpoints based on all the content and skills developed by them through the year. Besides this, there are numerous formative assessments that take place in the classroom ensuring that the teaching plans are in sync with Capstone: Over and above the checkpoints our students work on a self-driven project of their choice at the end of the year and present it to an external jury. This helps us analyse their skills of research, presentation and other soft skills. ASSET: We also offer ASSET, a diagnostic test, that helps us identify learning strengths and weaknesses of our students in English, Math and Science. See more information on ASSET here
