The Aga Khan Academy Mombasa An International Baccalaureate (IB) World School ACADEMY PROFILE

In March 2020, teachers and students were required to quickly pivot to learning online, as schools in closed. The Academy adapted and students continued to learn in a rigorous environment and prepare for final exams. Fortunately, most Internal Assessments and coursework were complete when the IB decided to cancel May 2020 examinations. Final grades were awarded using Internal Assessment grades, teacher predicted grades, and their accuracy based on historical trends for the Academy.

Predicted grades are generated using student performance in exams from DP1, summative assessments, and Internal Assessment predictions in consultation with CEM projections. For the class of 2021, in the absence DP1 May 2020 exams, in-class summative performance in DP1 May 2020 and DP2 September 2020 assessments significantly influenced predictions.
