(Standardized Tests)
Aside from the formative and summative assessments, we measure our effectiveness as international school by engaging our students to different standardized test such as:
NWEA MAP – Measure of Academic Progress
The MAP NWEA test is a computerized adaptive test that is designed to measure a student’s knowledge and skills in reading, language usage, mathematics, and science. The test is administered two times a year, allowing us to track each student’s academic growth and identify areas where additional support may be needed.
SAT – Scholastic Achievement Test
AP – Advanced Placement Test
The SAT is designed to measure a student’s readiness for college-level coursework in reading, writing, and mathematics. It consists of multiple-choice questions and an optional essay section, and is administered by the College Board, a non-profit organization that also provides other educational services such as AP courses and exams.
