3. Today’s Purpose: To help parents get a
basic overview of the MYP in order to help
support your child
本日重點：讓家長了解關於MYP課程的
基本概念

4. Q1: How to convert MYP points into the letter grades?
Q1: MYP points如何對應轉換為伝統的A,B,C,D letter grade?
Q2: What kind of grades will show on the report card?
Q2: 學期末的report card 會如何呈現學生的學力鑑別分級（成績）？
Q3:How to transfer students' MYP points in G9 and G10 into GPA points?
Q3: G9, G10的MYP points 會如何對應換算為申請大學所須的GPA分數？
Q4: Is there a MYP Rubrics standard for each grade level? Is point 1-8 an overall scale? (which means students can only
reach point 8 in Grade 10? If it is the case, that means a Grade 6 student can never reach point 8? What if there's a very
outstanding student who reaches point 8 in G6~G9, what else can the student learn through the rest of the grade levels?)
Q4: 每個年級是否有各年級的MYP 1-8 points 的評分適用標準？或是MYP 1-8 points 是G6到G10的整體評分標準（即預計學
生在G10 才可能獲得 8 points？倘為後者，是否表示G6的學生幾乎無法得到8 points ? 但若真有超級優秀的學生在6,7,8或9年
級提前得到 MYP 8 points,請問該名學生接下來要學習些什麼？
Q5: Among all the G6 classes, the science class is more confusing to the parents, if the MYP rubrics is the standard, why
only science class use it, the other subject only has its own assessment?
Q5:所有G6的課程中，science class是較為讓家長混亂！若MYP是以1-8points為評分標準，為何只有science符合？其他科目
仍有自己的評分成績？
