SCHOOL EXAMS
In addition to ongoing class tests, internal school exams will be held at the end of grade 11
in all the subjects.
At the end of Grade 11 all students will have to fulfill the following conditions:
• Obtain Minimum 3 points in all subjects
• Submission of the Extended Essay research question in the first week of March
of DP 1
• Submission of all internal assessments and coursework requirements
• Submission of 75-100 hours of CAS & the reports
A review committee comprising of the Diploma Coordinator, Class teacher, Curriculum
Coordinator and the relevant subject teachers will review whether a student is competent to
take the full Diploma or has to be converted to Certificate. The final decision will be taken by
the Head of School.
Internal school deadlines:
Students are required to meet many deadlines of both a short-term and a long-term nature
over the two years of the IB Diploma. These deadlines are carefully planned by the DP Staff
in order to help students to distribute their workload fairly evenly. The deadlines are also set,
however, in order to meet the official IB requirements for assessment. School deadlines
are of necessity and inflexible – students who fail to meet them will be penalised in the
grades awarded.
The student is committed to submit the work before deadline if he/she is aware of the
absence on the day of submission/deadline for an assignment in school.
Absence due to illness
This kind of absence requires a medical certificate and/or note from parents. Students who
do not meet school deadlines may be barred from entering/withdrawn from the IB Diploma.
Please note that the school will not be obligated to cover topics lost due to the absence.
The students can approach the teacher for remedial classes.
Please refer to the final overview of the major internal deadlines calendar**.
Internal school exams and progression from grade 11 to grade 12:
In addition to ongoing class tests, internal school exams will be held at the end of grade 11
for all the subjects. Please note that if any deadlines of Grade 11 are not met before
completion of the first year, then the results/transcripts of the student will be withheld.
