Students are evaluated using both internal and external assessments.These are graded by the classroom teacher then verified or modified as necessary by an appointed external moderator.

       Some students are taking the test for the challenge “I am in IB because I want to challenge myself and earn a better education for myself,” Brianna Hamilton a junior at Daphne High School  said. Another student enjoys the challenge “I’m in IB because it is internationally minded and I enjoy the challenge” said Anna Stephens a junior at Daphne High School.
