Assessments use diverse strategies; from Early Education through 5th grade, students receive descriptive reports, and all forms of assessment value learning and the process.

Service and action are essential parts of the MYP, with students engaging in projects that promote social responsibility and global citizenship. A Service Club enables collaborative work and inquiry that contribute to local and global communities.

College Counseling prepares students for higher education and professional pathways. In the MYP, students undertake a Personal Project in the final year to consolidate learning and develop life and higher education skills.

These components foster critical thinking, self-management, and future-oriented leadership.
