*Dhirubhai Ambani International School is a candidate school for the International
Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years and Middle Years Programme. IB World Schools share a
common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse
and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high-quality
programmes of international education that share a powerful vision.

b) Academic Integrity
The school values academic integrity and honesty as core values in students.
It nurtures fair practices in teaching, learning and assessment. Through sessions in
information literacy, students are educated to recognize the meaning and implication
of academic misconduct, plagiarism, malpractice, and collusion. They are made to
understand that they are responsible for their academic honesty. An age-appropriate
procedure is followed while investigating a case of academic malpractice. Parents are
expected to support the school in promoting integrity over achievement.

c) Assessments
We recognise that teaching, learning, and assessment are fundamentally
interdependent. Our overarching philosophy of assessment is that it should
support student and curricular goals while nurturing age-appropriate learning. We
consider assessment to have four dimensions: monitoring, documenting,
measuring and reporting.

Monitoring learning
• Aims to check the progress of learning against personal learning and
curricular goals and success criteria
• Assessment for learning (formative assessment) and Assessment as learning
(self and peer assessment) and (self - reflection) using a variety of strategies &
tools
