Reporting on student progress allows parents, students, and teachers to know exactly where the areas of strength and/or areas of need are within each content area. Fair and effective reporting practices that are aligned with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and American Curriculum courses are utilized at Emirates National Schools. Effective assessment practices are critical to student success and they give students confidence in their abilities and teach them to work on challenges and see them through. Reporting student progress relies on assessments that are taken during class.
