Perfect Score vs Excellence

How important is it that our children score 100 marks in school?

Perfect score is a good goal to set. However, no one can be always perfect. The key is continuing to persist and strive for excellence.


One of our frequently asked questions to parents "What is your child's score?". So is Scharff VIP obsessed about scores? Definitely not! The child's score is just a general gauge. We will request a copy of the child's latest assessment papers to review his strength and weaknesses.

We do not select students based on grade or score. However we do reject students for unacceptable learning attitude. The students must be aware that the onus of learning lies with them, no matter what.

"Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing."
