EI Asset results - Al Qamar exceeds national benchmarks

Got the EI Asset benchmarking reports.
MashaAllah, Al Qamar students outperformed national, zonal and state benchmarks in the EI Asset Exams for English, Maths & Science in the Winter 2017 round. Alhamdulillah, this has been the performance for the last 6 years.
Key Highlights:
* 1 Outstanding Performance - top 1%
* 4 Distinguished Performances - top 5%
* 11 Creditable Performances - top 15%
* 30% of the students rank in the top 15%
* 75% of the students rank in the top 50% in one or more subjects
Our opinion - this stellar performance is because of the Al Qamar model - focus on real independent learning with no exams, homework or rote learning.
Alhamdulillah!

Peer to Peer learning @ Al Qamar

Increasingly research is pointing to the vital contribution of Peer to Peer Learning in classrooms across the world.

Alhamdulillah, Al Qamar has been implementing Peer to Peer learning right from the start. With incredible results - children enjoy working with each other, develop social skills, lose the fear of learning, absorb more, develop care and consideration.

And in learning terms - Al Qamar students outperform national benchmarking averages year on year from the inception of the school (source: EI-Asset exams)
