Students and teachers are actively involved in assessing students' progress.

Assessment involves the gathering and analysis of student performance and is designed to inform teaching and learning. It identifies what students know, understand, can do, and feel at different stages in their learning.

We use various tools and strategies to assess a student's progress. Some of these strategies are:
• Observations
• Performance: oral/PowerPoint presentation, experiment, skill, model, debate, role-play
• Process-focused: conversations, conference, interviews
• Selected response: True/False, card sort, matching, multiple choice
• Open-ended task: illustrations, paragraphs, charts

These are some of the assessment tools:
• Rubrics: student and/or teacher-designed criteria
• Benchmarks
• Checklists
• Anecdotal records: brief written notes based on observations of students
• Continuums: which show a progression of achievement or identify where a student is.

We will report on your child's progress in the following ways:
• Written report - January and June
• Parent-Teacher Conferences - meetings in October and February
• Student-Led Conference in May (involve the student and parent. The students are responsible for leading the conference, they will discuss and reflect upon samples of work that they have previously chosen to share with their parents)
• Regular correspondence (email, notes, class unit newsletter) from class teacher.

IB member schools are appraised on a regular basis and are required to meet stringent membership criteria.
