Learning depth

Continuous assessment is layered on top of the term examinations, with project work and lab assignments contributing to the final grade in most subjects.
Parent fit
Families comparing SC against other ICSE schools in Nainital usually weigh three things: how the school handles the transition between primary and senior school, the strength of the co-curricular calendar, and how transparent the admissions team is during the enquiry. If you're choosing between State board and IGCSE for the long-term exit, factor in the colleges your child is most likely to apply to — that decision often settles the board question more cleanly than a side-by-side feature comparison.
