Bewertung

Interne Bewertung

Die Leistungen werden anhand der UWCSEA 7-1 Leistungsskala bewertet.

Die Lernansätze werden anhand der UWCSEA ATLs (Selbstmanagement, Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit) bewertet.

Die Bewertung an der UWCSEA ist ganzheitlich und daher basieren die Leistungsnote und die ATLs auf einer Reihe von

formativen (laufenden) und summativen Bewertungsinstrumenten. Die gemeinsamen summativen Bewertungsinstrumente

werden von allen Sprachen des Erstsprachenkurses verwendet, um eine Standardisierung zu ermöglichen.

Weitere Informationen zu den Bewertungsgrundsätzen der UWCSEA finden Sie hier.

German

German is taught in Grade 9 according to the Swiss

curriculum, which is a compulsory requirement for students

coming from the Swiss School or intending to return to

Switzerland. As Grade 9 concludes the Swiss Stream,

students follow the guidelines of the Swiss curriculum.

At the end of Grade 9,

students sit for an exam, which

is based on the Swiss entry

test for High School

* UWCSEA has an agreement with the Dutch community in Singapore to operate a joint scheme to employ a fully qualified teacher of Dutch. The teacher

provides Dutch tuition both within (Grades 9-12) and outside (Grades 7-8) the normal timetable for native speakers of Dutch. The teacher is a full-time

employee of UWCSEA Dover but the Dutch community contributes to the total cost of their employment. Therefore, an extra charge is levied by the Dutch

community for any Dutch tuition; the cost depends on the number of students taking Dutch lessons. Please ask for further details before enrolling. There

are no extra costs for Dutch exams in Grades 9 or 10.
