IBDP Five Year Review for Cita Hati

The Five Year Review is a mandatory quality assurance procedure overseen by a panel of 14 experienced IB practitioners in the Asia Pacific region. It involves collecting evidence from teachers, parents, students and school management to assure the IB that Cita Hati is meeting performance standards in terms of philosophy, organization, curriculum and provisions for students. The Review is a comprehensive and time-consuming investigation. Earlier this semester we were informed by IBAP that Cita Hati had met Review requirements as an IB world school.  Cita Hati was commended for the thoroughness of the Review, its ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, its active community service programme, the proposals for improvement identified in the Review, the range and number of subjects offered to students, and the consistent application of the IB Learner Profile in the school. IBAP identified the following items for further development over the next five years: renewed emphasis on the IB Mission and values, further development of IBDP subject resource bases, extending the status and use of the library, addressing the intrusion of enrichment activities on scheduled class times, and the advertising of the curriculum to all sections of the school community. In closing, the IB Review Panel stated “overall, the Panel has concluded that the self-study submitted is of a very good quality. Throughout the presentation, the school ratings for both Standards and Practices have been relatively accurate, the identification of strengths has been realistic and the proposals for improvement have been well thought out and achievable. The Panel congratulates the school on their approach to this process".
