Educational goals

We will add our educational goals as soon as possible.

Promotion and repeating

Under normal circumstances we expect students to progress through the school with their peers. Decisions about a student needing to repeat a year are only taken after ongoing communications with the parents, subject teachers and year tutor whenever there is a case for concern regarding a student’s academic performance and/or social emotional wellbeing.

Consideration will be given to the student’s academic performance, their attitude and motivation, their  social/emotional their well being and finally any factor hindering their progress. If further steps to support the student both at home and at school are unsuccessful, the school will require that the student repeats the year or will be transferred to another more appropriate school.

Additional Requirements for the Award of the IB MYP Course Results 

A Middle Years Programme candidate must meet three requirements in addition to completing eight subjects.* (*Note that under special circumstances, e.g. ELL attendance, school-supported choices, the student might only pursue seven subjects, with an IB minimum requirement of six subjects in Year 5 of the programme.)

• A completed MYP school transcript in which they obtain a minimum of 25 points where each subject group has a grade of 3 or above. The 25 points comes from the following subjects: language and literature, language acquisition (or a second language and literature), individuals and societies (either geography or history), mathematics, sciences and one subject from either arts, physical and health education or design
• A grade 3 or higher for the Personal Project; the candidate must complete and submit a Personal Project (PP)—an independently chosen, researched, planned, and completed project based on a personal learning and product goal. Work on the project is expected to occupy approximately 25 hours and must be done under the direct supervision of an appropriate teacher at the school.
• The candidate must engage in a programme of extra-curricular activities known as Service as Action (SA). The student must reflect on, record, and report at least one local activity and one global activity approved by the SA Coordinator. SA programme evaluation may be completed by the regional offices of the IB.

Students wishing to enroll in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP) must meet the promotional requirements outlined above. However, please note that meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee automatic admission to the DP. In addition, students must meet the specific entry requirements with regards to standard and higher level subjects. Final admission decisions are made at the discretion of the school.

Promotion criteria for International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP)

The school’s criteria for promotion to DP2 are based on IB’s conditions for achieving the Diploma.

Unless there are special circumstances, a student must achieve at least:

• 23 points from the 6 subjects (HL and SL)
• 11 points from the 3 HL subjects

In addition, students must also have shown sufficient progress in all 3 core components (Creativity Activity Service, Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge)

Note that the regulations with regard to academic promotion do not allow students:

• to repeat one academic year more than once,
• to spend more than three years in two consecutive academic years.
