Course assignments whether it be daily work, homework, or project work are graded using the IB grading scale of 0-8. Every student assignment will have a rubric that is used based on the four criterion for Individuals and Society, Knowledge and Understanding, Communication, Investigating, and Thinking Critically. 

All assignments are listed in Google classroom for each class. You as a student will be invited to the page at the beginning of the school year or when you enroll in school during the year. Parents will receive an invite to the page after your child has accepted their invitation to the class. Once invited you will be able to see a daily posting of what was done in class for that day with information like assignments, instructions, due dates and embedded documents of assignments when needed.
