The Internal Assessment (IA)

"All progress takes place outside the comfort zone." - Michael John Bobak, contemporary artist

"Much of the stress that people feel doesn't come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they've started." - David Allen (b.1945), American productivity and management consultant

The IB DP and IB CP are rigorous pre-university courses of study, designed for students in the 16 to 19 age range. They are broad-based two-year courses that aim to encourage students to be knowledgeable and inquiring, but also caring and compassionate.There is a strong emphasis on encouraging students to develop intercultural understanding, open-mindedness, and the attitudes necessary for them to respect and evaluate a range of points of view. As with all aspects of IB assessment, the Internal Assessment (IA) is rigorous, criterion based, and differentiating of student ability.

Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme assessment include both final examinations and internal assessment undertaken by the teacher to IB criteria and then externally moderated by the IB.

The size of the sample required is as follows:

All IB examiners are ‘quality checked’ through a stringent process. This includes the moderation of Internal Assessment work.

The IB also undertakes random inspections of schools during the period of public (external) examinations.

IB exam and assessment results are published on 5th July for the May session and 5th January for the November session.
