This bilingual school currently completes a written report at
the end of each semester (twice per year) although this is changing to three times in the next academic year. The written reports include narrative feedback on the IB learner profile, and the essential elements (knowledge, concepts, transdisciplinary skills, attitudes, and action). The knowledge section reflects the PYP subject areas. The school emphasizes celebrations and goals for student learning in each of the essential elements. To support the reporting process, students keep portfolios of work they have selected with accompanying reflections on the work. The school also have student-led conferences at the end of the year.
