This is our first MYP batch that has appeared for e-assessments this year. MYP e-assessments are unique as they assess conceptual understanding, knowledge, and skills in unfamiliar situations. So the results speak for both academic achievements as well as conceptual understanding of the students.

While the MYP certificate is the pathway for students who register for all 8 subjects, the MYP course is opted by students who choose to appear for specific subjects in the MYP, rather than all the 8 subjects.

Owing to the pandemic situation, IB assessed students for English, Maths, Integrated Sciences, Integrated Humanities, and the Interdisciplinary unit through Alternate Tasks. Alternate tasks were a subset of onscreen exams. The final grades achieved for these subjects are based on student performance in Alternate tasks.

Language Acquisition (Hindi), Personal Project, and Physical & Health Education / Visual Arts/ Performing Art- Drama / Digital Design / Product Design (students choose one of these) are graded through e-portfolios which are internally assessed by subject teachers and externally moderated by IB examiners.

Our first IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) batch of students graduated on 1st Aug 2020 and they have done quite well across subjects.

Owing to the pandemic situation, IB canceled the on-screen examinations for English, Maths, Integrated Sciences, Integrated Humanities, and Interdisciplinary units. The grades for these subjects are the same as predicted grades given by the school based on student performance in mock exams and previous years.

The remaining 3 subjects, Language Acquisition (Hindi), Personal Project and Physical & Health Education / Arts / Digital Design / Product Design (students choose one of these) are graded through e-portfolios which are moderated by the IB (as is done in the normal scenario) after the checking done by school teachers.

MYP certificate is the pathway for students who appear for on-screen examinations for all 8 subjects. MYP course is a pathway where students choose to appear for specific subjects in the MYP, rather than all the 8 subjects.

DP Result 2021

DP students have two types of assessments under normal circumstances which are called the Exam route. These include:

  1. External assessment (written examinations), English HL essay, Extended essay, TOK essay, Arts portfolio

  2. Internal assessments (research and non-research-based submissions with specific word count or pages prescribed by the IB). Students have to submit their internal assessment to IB which is assessed by school teachers and moderated by IB while external assessment is completely assessed by IB. 

The Non-exam route was made available to schools in India due to the pandemic situation and in this case, there were no written examinations conducted by IB, and all internal assessments were assessed by IB, unlike the exam route. That means all Internal Assessments were now externally assessed by IB examiners. The final grades were based on this as well as the school’s predicted grades. We ensured that students did their best in their IAs, and that each student got the predicted grade that they most deserved based on their performance over 2 years. The results of these efforts show up a significant increase in the average score.

DP Result 2020

The DP results were first released on 5th July 2020 and gave Fountainhead School its fifth batch of Diploma Programme graduates (Grade 12). Fountainhead School has achieved 100% results. These graduates were felicitated on a virtual platform on 18th July 2020. Mr. Mekin Maheshwari, former CPO at Flipkart, founder of Udhyam Learning Foundation was the guest of honour of the virtual convocation. Class of 2020 Results at a glance

DP Result 2019

We are pleased to announce that our students have done well this year. With the last three batches completing the Diploma Program, we can confidently say that we have got a good hold of all the subject requirements across the program, and the results have been consistently good over the years. Table 1: Class of 2019 Results at a glance We can see the comparison of student performances in the IB Diploma program in the table below.

24-27 4 9 8
Average Score 33.6 31.4 32.5
Some findings about the results this year:
  • The number of students in the higher grade ranges has increased as compared to last year. Of course, that will vary from batch to batch based on their academic inclination and aptitude.
  • The student results have shown improvement in both the Extended Essay and TOK.
  • There is a difference in the way we have marked our students for the internal assessments which carry about 20-40% of the total grade and how the IB has moderated the samples it takes for cross checking. We need to understand the reasons for this difference.
  • Due to the difference in the grading of IAs, variation in student performance from mock exams to the final exams, some variation in the cut-offs and the paper difficulty levels, there has been more variation in the school’s predicted grades to the final grades.

DP Result 2018

We are pleased to announce that our students have done well this year. With the last three batches completing the Diploma Program, we can confidently say that we have got a good hold of all the subject requirements across the program, and the results have been consistently good over the years.

28 – 30 4 3 6
24 – 27 11 2 9
Average Score 31.0 33.6 31.4
Some findings about the results this year:
  • Our predicted grades have been quite close to actual grades, the difference between actual and predicted grades being 3.61% (on the lower side).
  • While no. of students in the highest range have reduced, the number of students in the 35-38 range have increased.
  • Each cohort will be different academically and the final grades will vary depending on their preparedness, accountability, work habits and the rigor and commitment that they demonstrate.
  • We have offered two new subjects Global Politics and Computer Science to our students this year, and they have done quite well in both the subjects.
  • There is a 16% overall difference in the prediction for Extended Essay, partly because the criteria have changed this year. We need to understand the requirements better to improve student results.

DP Result 2017

The table below shows the comparative analysis of the results of the class of 2016 and 2017. The key highlights of the results this year:

  • As evident from Table 1, the number of students getting scores in the higher ranges is significantly more as compared to last year. And obviously, our highest scores have jumped.
  • The average score of students has increased from 31 to 33.6
  • The actual grades of students have been significantly closer to the predicted grades as compared to the prediction last year. The error in the prediction of the grades last year was 13% which has now reduced to 0.4%.
  • Besides the improvement in subject grades, students have also shown better results in the TOK and Extended Essay which are the core components of the Diploma Program.

DP Result 2016

In many ways, Fountainhead School reached a major milestone when the results of the DP Class of 2016 (first batch) were released. Of 38 students in the class, one of them appeared for the AS/A levels in March (the only and the last candidate from Fountainhead to do so). 2 students had registered for the DP Course from the beginning – which means that they were not attempting the full diploma. Of the remaining 35 students, 21 students were awarded the Diploma, while 14 students got Diploma course results. On the other hand, our highest score is 39. Among those students who have got the Diploma, the average score is 31 points, higher than the world average, which is 30.07. In every subject where we had more than 10 students, our students have secured the two highest grades in that subject pointing to the fact that those students who make an effort can do really well.
