The diversity that students bring to MDIS is viewed as a strength, we promote a culture that is accepting, empowering, and ever-changing.
MDIS and the IB believe that all candidates should be allowed to demonstrate their ability under assessment conditions that are as fair as possible. Standard assessment conditions may put some candidates at a disadvantage by preventing them from demonstrating their level of attainment. Inclusive access arrangements may be applied in these circumstances if it is observed that they could reduce or minimize barriers for the candidate.
