Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Podar International School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "What is the leave policy?", "a": "Schools usually offer 10–18 leaves per year on top of public/school holidays.
