PSI High School Graduation and IB Diploma Programme
Grades 11 and 12 follow a two-year programme designed for those who seek to enter higher education in universities worldwide.
PSI holds the prestigious IB World School status, making us one of 3000 schools in 120 countries that offer the IB Diploma Programme (DP), including some of the largest and most established international schools around the world. Major universities consider the DP as the most rigorous high school programme with its combination of highly challenging academics, inquiry based research, and a commitment to service learning.
Grades are based upon internally assessed assignments, externally assessed projects, and the end of programme examination papers. A student can earn up to 7 points in each of her or his 6 courses.
The Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay components provide the possibility of 3 additional points. The total possible score in the IB Diploma is 45 points.
For the first time in the history of the IB Diploma Program, the organisation cancelled exams due to Corvid-19. Instead, the IB used a formula that included teacher predicted grades as well as the examiners’ evaluations of students' projects (Internal Assessments) to calculate the final DP point totals for the members of the class of 2020.
Despite the very difficult circumstances, the class of 2020 earned an average higher than the world-wide average and two students scores 40 points.
