IBDP HIGHLIGHTS (NOV/DEC 22)

End of Semester Examination

Students in Year 12 and 13 will begin writing their End of Semester examination from November 23 till December 1, 2022. Students are advised to bring their own stationery (pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, calculators) to the examination hall because borrowing will not be allowed. During the examination week, students will have the option to study on campus after writing their papers for the day or sign an early release form and study from home with the consent of their parents. If your ward opts for the latter, please call the front desk to confirm your ward’s early release or send an email to communication@aris.edu.gh.

Vacation Classes for Year 13 (IBDP Year 2)

Students in Year 13 will be having lessons during the vacation to enable them to cover the components that the IB has reinstated. We are appealing to all DP parents to support us during this period of time and ensure that their wards attend these lessons during the vacation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact communication@aris.edu.gh. Students are required to pack enough snacks and lunch for the days that they will be attending school physically.

Mathematics Lessons for students in Year 12

On Wednesday, November 16, 2022, students in Year 12 will be attending Mathematics lessons after school from 2:00 – 4:00 pm to enable them to revise topics that have already been covered. An additional revision session will be organised on Saturday, November 19, 2022 from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. We request that parents take note of the late pick-up time on Wednesday and plan accordingly. For the Saturday class, students are to dress modestly,  arrive on time, and come along with their snacks and lunch.


Completion of Internal Assessments

A final reminder for the submission of IA first drafts will be sent to students and parents in the coming weeks. Where applicable, extensions will be provided for students, and they must endeavour to prioritise the completion of these IAs before the Christmas break. Please note that notifications will be communicated through ManageBac with the title: Urgent – Submission of IAs.


Registration of IBDP Year 13 Students

All students have been registered for the May 2022 examination session; however, if you would still like to make any changes to your ward’s subject level from a Higher level to a Standard Level, please note that it will attract a penalty after November 15, 2022.


CAS Interviews

Students in the Diploma Programme are required to have three mandatory interviews with their CAS coordinator throughout the duration of the programme. Usually, the first interview is conducted in the first semester of Year 12. In preparation for the interview, we will be sending you an email with details of the date and time when your ward will be required to stay after school to attend the interview.
