Students receive grades from A to F for each course they take, based on test results conducted at intervals throughout the year, participation in classroom discussions, completion of written and oral assignments, and exams at the end of the year.
To obtain a high school diploma, you need two semesters a year for four years of full-time study. Under the American system, students earn a high school diploma when they earn a predetermined number of credits. This credit system gives students ownership of their course of study and prepares them to choose the right path for a degree when entering a university. Just as importantly, it also allows them to choose the subjects they like and discard the ones they are not interested in.
Regular attendance and consistent completion of homework, tests, and other preset coursework is essential for a high level of academic performance.
To be eligible to graduate from Al Khaleej International School, you must earn a minimum of 22 credits.
