IB Diploma and MYP Grades

IB Grades are awarded for individual subjects in the MYP (including the Personal Project) and for both Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level (SL) subjects in the IB Diploma. All IB diploma courses would normally be regarded as honors courses. Universities and colleges are also encouraged to consider a student's total points score, as well as his or her score in individual courses.
