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.

Consideration will be given to the student’s academic performance, their attitude and motivation, 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.

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.

Reports and results

The ISE uses Toddle to document major assessment and achievement grades.  All students and parents have access to this platform in order to view the data regularly. In addition, reporting is done four times in the school year generally in November, February, April, and July. The first and third report are progress reports that reflect the student’s academic progress at that point in time and are not necessarily based on a precise sum of all assessment criteria. The second and fourth reports are full reports that include all criteria in the MYP and grades-to-date in the DP, as well as a conversion to the IB Grade Boundaries on a 1-7 scale. All reports include judgments on the cross-curricular skills to provide more information on the student’s performance in each subject.

If a student is to join a class during the school year a report might not be issued straight away if assessment of the student is not yet sufficient. The teacher may decide to award cross curricular skills only, at the discretion of the curriculum team.
