Le Régent’s Junior School follows the IPC (International Primary Curriculum) and IEYC (International Early Years Curriculum), the school’s own tailor-made programmes and a significant focus on French.
Students in Grade 6 to 10 (Senior School) follow a broad and balanced curriculum of academic and creative subjects, including language options for mother-tongue and second-language speakers. They can choose to prepare for international GCSE examinations, which are available in most subjects.
Students in IB1 & IB2 follow the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) or the school’s high school diploma, Le Régent Graduation Diploma. All students are required to take English A or B in order to support their language development in an English academic programme.
The school operates a trimester system with grades reported in November, March and June, except in IB2 when grades are issued and the transcript updated in November and February. Grades are based on the IB 1-7 grading criteria.
As in many European systems, internal grades are formative grades to indicate progress throughout the course and are therefore not to be considered summative records of achievement at the time of grading. Le Régent does not rank students, since they take a wide variety of courses with different combinations of Higher (HL) and Standard (SL) levels.
All students sign an academic honesty contract at the start of their IBDP studies. In addition, in accordance with NACAC’s Statement of Practice and Good Principles, Le Régent reports serious disciplinary infractions to colleges and universities, with particular attention paid to academic malpractice, issues that could cause harm to individuals or the wider community, as well as to enrolment status.
