Our Assessments
At Almadina Academy, we believe that an effective education doesn’t just come from memorizing or lecturing. Active participation in the learning process entails analyzing, discussing, and collaborating - in order to comprehend and retain knowledge. All of our subjects are designed to encourage deep mental processing and student engagement with the class material. To ensure that our students are excelling academically, Almadina implements State Wide Testing throughout the year as shown below:
