Grading System

BIS Al Olaya has developed an administrative procedure to establish a system of grading and assessment for evaluating and recording student progress and to measure student performance in conjunction with school-adopted content standards for grades 4 to high school. The grading/assessment system follows all applicable rules and regulations of the Ministry of Education. These guidelines are communicated annually to students and parents/guardians and are also available on the school’s webpage.

Academic Grades

The basic grading system for knowledge/subject area is expressed primarily by the letters “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E” and “F” according to the numerical values listed under the Grading Scale. The primary purpose of grading is to communicate the academic achievement status of students to the students and their families.

  1. Meeting the standards in English/Language Arts, Science, and Math.

  3. Students take up to 65% of each subject as a success average.
  4. Students must complete all the exams to get a report card.
  5. Special arrangements are made while administering exams for students who require them.
