Schools typically do not publish the percentage of their students who attempt to earn the IB Diploma. In most schools, only their most capable students make the effort. At SPH, nearly every student in grade 12 is registered for
the diploma. Of those who are registered, almost 95% of our students regularly earn the diploma.
Our aim is to have 70% of our students scoring above the world average of 30 points.

MYP New Chapter
• Minor changes to parents– Life has become easier– Now all MYP subjects have the same number of
criteria, 4 (Except Biblical Studies 3, Civics 2)– All criteria (except Civics, 10) be out of 8 max.
• So your child comes home and says they have a 6 for an assignment, you know it’s out of 8 no matter what subject or what criteria.
