As an academic institution, GJS strives to uphold the highest levels of honesty, integrity and excellence. Our pupils are expected to maintain the same standards through

academic honesty and personal integrity. The GJS teachers and staff are dedicated to the instruction necessary for the prevention of unintentional plagiarism and cheating, as

well as helping pupils understand the role of responsibility in their own learning.

The highlights of this policy include:

The GJS admission policy is designed to make the application process straight forward.

•  The applicant begins with filling an online new entrant admission form at no charge.

•  The child is then invited for interview in the basics of each subject to check the

child's level of knowledge to the applied class.

•  The child is then admitted to a class which suits his/ her academic potential.

•  In the pre-primary, we also consider the age of the child during placement.

Assessments lie at the heart of the process of promoting a child's learning. It provides a framework within which educational objectives may be set and child's progress expressed and monitored. This should be done in partnership with learners and parents. At GJS, we believe that assessments provide the basis of informed teaching, helping learners to overcome difficulties and ensuring that teaching builds upon what has been learned. It is also how learners understand what they have achieved and what they need to work on.

This policy's highlights include:

•  Our learners are subjected to four sets of exams and these are

•  Beginning of term exams administered with in the first week of every term.

•  This is always an external exam.

•  Midterm exams administered at the mid of every term.

•  End of term set one exam administered in third last week of the term.

•  End of term set two exams administered in the second last week of the term. This has to be an external exam. all the four exams equally contribute to the child's end of term performance

•  Our children are also subjected to a holiday package. This is online upper primary and off line to pre-primary school. Though the holiday package results do not contribute to termly performance. We encourage our children to attempt these package for academic continuity.

•  Our learners do write topical test at the end of every test which helps in assessing their perception of the particular topic.

•  It is the responsibility of the GLOJEB- Global Junior School Examinations Board to set and moderate internal exam for learners at the respective classes.

We believe that all children have the right to be safe and protected in our society.
