Assessment
No monthly marksheet. Here's how you'll actually know.
This is the hardest adjustment for most parents, so let's be direct about it. We don't send a marksheet every month, we took that crutch away on purpose, because the learning here goes well beyond what a number on a test can capture. In its place is something more honest and more complete.
What we actually track, and how
Three things, watched closely
Projects
Every project has key learnings we're looking for. Coaches assess these through presentations, rubrics and checkpoints, and tell you qualitatively what was strong and where your child landed. A warning we give every parent: a ten-year-old's business proposal will look rough next to an adult's, the coach is looking at the thinking, not the grammar or graphic design.
Success skills
We keep rubrics on a few core skills and update you on where your child is and what we're working on. Some is explicit (learning what empathy is); much is implicit (how disagreements get handled, how feedback becomes normal rather than wounding).
Conceptual mastery
Every child has a mastery tracker listing the skills and learning objectives they're working through, updated mainly via low-pressure checkpoints and in-class understanding. You see where your child stands on each, every quarter.
The assessments, plainly
Two kinds, no surprises
Formative, all the time
Small informal checks (presentations, quizzes, vivas, reflections) that let coaches adjust their teaching.
Summative, once a quarter
A written assessment of the quarter's learning objectives. Different in spirit from a traditional exam, but a real check of mastery.
How and when you'll hear from us
A clear, honest picture, without interrogating your child every evening
"Last Week at StayQrious" email
A short summary of what your child's batch did, and the moments that stood out.
A structured progress update
Your coach shares it (often a video, or a 1:1), focused on the skills your child is building and what comes next.
A deeper semester review
A fuller picture of the half-year, alongside outputs from the projects your child is proudest of.
WhatsApp the coach
For anything specific. The cadence above is the default, not a wall.
