IB Theory of Knowledge is assessed on an A through E scale, with E being a failing condition. • IB Predicted Grades are awarded in October, just before students sit for final examinations and graduate in November.
UNIVERSITY COUNSELLING POLICIES
• Students are not ranked or awarded GPA’s. • University Counsellors do not complete tick rating boxes on recommendation forms. • Disciplinary infractions resulting in a fixed term external exclusion are disclosed if requested.
SINGAPORE CONTEXT
• All Singaporean Citizens and Permanent Residents must fulfil the Ministry of Education Mother Tongue Language Requirement. Hence a student’s choice of languages throughout High School is usually restricted. • Male Singaporean Citizens and Permanent Residents completing their compulsory two years of Singapore National Service are supported by the University Counsellors at SJI International through their university applications, including submitting all official high school documents and letters of recommendation.
