DP News: Attendance Advice

The IB learner profile encourages students to be courageous risk-takers and thoughtful inquirers.

We know that learning takes place both in and out of the classroom, on the volleyball court, and on stage. AISL Diploma Programme teachers encourage students to attend ISSEA tournaments, MUN trips, and other school-related events. We expect students to be involved in athletic, cultural, and academic extra-curricular activities. In addition, Diploma Programme students who reach their full potential in the DP internal and external assessments attend school as many days as possible.

​We advise students and parents to carefully select their extra-curricular activities to minimize the total number of days missed from school. Proactive communication with teachers before students leave on trips and looking at upcoming assignments in ManageBac can help students to close gaps that might occur when they are travelling for school or with their families. ~ F.
