King Faisal School

IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) End of Year

Report
Prepared: May 2, 2021

Student Name: Faisal Mohammed Alfozan

Grade: Grade 9

Dear Parents,
Welcome to the End of Year report of the Academic Year 2020-21. A world-class education is what King Faisal School
aims to provide and it should be a challenging and an enriching experience. Academic rigor and creative opportunities
punctuate an educational process, which has the learner at its core. Assessment and reporting is necessarily multi-
faceted and continuous. We report on not only students’ mastery of content, but also mastery of self, as a learner. The
Learner Profile is a benchmark standard. This report provides a snapshot of your son’s progress. All assessments prior
to the end of the year are interim, or conditional. Within these pages you should find a clear indication not only of
where your son’s current level of attainment lies, but also areas for him to work on to bolster his academic performance
leading to his successful achievements. Speak with your son about his report. Allow him the opportunity to reflect and
to formulate his own plans for success. On behalf of the faculty and myself, we appreciate your support as we work
together to help your son achieve his very best.
I wish all the KFS community health and safety.
Most sincerely yours,
Mohamed Bahzat
Vice-Principal Academic.

Inquirers We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and with
others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life.

Knowledgeable We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We engage
with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.

Thinkers We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We
exercise initiative in making reasoned, ethical decisions.

Communicators We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate
effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.

Principled We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and

Caring We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive
difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.

Risk-takers We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to explore
(Courageous) new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change.

and with the world in which we live.

Reflective We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and
weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.
