Unfortunately I thought the evaluation was based on age and grade equivalent. The evaluation should have been based on classes, subjects taken, and work load. I did not think the team took the time to evaluate the description of classes taken. For example this was my daughter's 5th year of French. She completed her first year of Secondary School. To say that her level of French was not at secondary level was quite frustrating.The PSHE class,And ICT class were at secondary level. Geography was required and passed. Unfortunately she has to take all of these classes again. The fact that she was required to take a 4 hour Cat4 and spend every weekend at school for 2-3 weeks studying to take the exam, should say she was very well prepared to enter into Secondary school. Then she passed first year of Secondary School. Not to receive 1 credit for any classes completed has been a disappointment and frustration. I will NOT be recommending IEE to any other Diplomatic families seeking credits for their children.
