Dear Parents and Students,
In February, we will administer the International School Assessment (ISA) for MYP 1, MYP 3 and MYP5 students in the subject areas of Maths, English and Science. These assessments help us audit our curricula and determine possible learning gaps for the specific grade levels versus thousands of other international schools.
The results are purely so that we can improve as a school. These exams will not affect students’ grades nor will they determine course choices in the MYP or DP.
Students will take trial testing from January 27th to 31st while the official tests will be held from 3rd to 21st February 2025.
Students will be taking the Maths test during their Maths class, the English tests during their English classes and the Science test during their Science classes.
The tests assess students’ skills, such as thinking, reasoning and analysing. Therefore, there is no way that students can study or prepare specifically for the tests. With these tests we are looking for results which reflect the school’s performance against international expectations.
