IBMYP Marks/Grades

Winston Churchill IBMYP Grades

The following chart outlines the system of IB grades that will be assigned, along with the traditional letter grade, A-F. These IB grades should be viewed as predictive.  Year-end IB grades represent a student's final achievement levels in all criteria of a given subject.  Achievement levels are determined using IB MYP criteria, not traditional letter grades or percentages. 

IB Grades are assigned during the following grading periods:

Year Long Courses - Assigned 3rd and 4th Quarter

Quarter-On/Quarter-Off Courses - Assigned 3rd and 4th Quarter

Trimester Courses - 6th Grade Language Wheel - NO IB Grades Assigned, students are not assessed using IB Rubrics

***IB Marks will be assigned for all courses 3rd and 4th quarter to allow ample time for IB Assessments within classes.
