GRADING SYSTEM

The standard course curriculum is taught at a college preparation level and above.  The grading system is considered very rigorous when compared to college prep high schools in the United States and Panama.

Students who earn International Baccalaureate grades of C- or above will earn an additional 1.0 Grade Point Equivalent for each IB course.

 

The International School of Panama uses a 4.0 scale when reporting grades on transcripts and report cards.  Grades of A+ receive an additional .4 GPE.

 

Students who enroll in an IB course but do not complete all IB requirements, do not receive the benefit of grade weighting and their courses will not have the IB designations reflected on their transcripts.

 

Due to the diverse international small size and prior educational background of our student body, we do not rank nor give decile ratings.
