Core Competencies

CBE aims to develop seven essential competencies that shape learners into confident, adaptable, and responsible global citizens:

  • Communication and collaboration
  • Critical thinking and problem-solving
  • Imagination and creativity
  • Citizenship
  • Learning to learn
  • Self-efficacy
  • Digital literacy
🧭 Assessment

Learners are assessed continuously through both classroom-based and national evaluations.

  • Continuous assessments contribute 40% of the overall score.
  • A national examination is conducted at the end of Grade 12 to guide transition into tertiary education and professional pathways.
👨‍👩‍👧 Parental Involvement

CBE recognizes parents as the child’s first educators. At Viraj, we strongly encourage active parental engagement in supporting home learning, building character, and reinforcing classroom lessons.
