A student’s progress is monitored by each subject teacher and reported termly. 

Formative assessments allow students to attempt new skills and demonstrate recent learning without their performance affecting their overall grade.

Summative assessments such as essays, projects, tests, and exams demonstrate students’ learning and contribute to their overall course grade. The assessment tasks are designed to allow students to demonstrate all the categories of achievement: knowledge and understanding, thinking and inquiry, communication and application/making connections. 

IB Results

Despite being a relatively young IB World School, the Canadian School of Milan has consistently achieved strong results that reflect both the commitment of our students and the quality of our teaching. In recent years, our average IB Our Diploma Programme results have consistently exceeded the global average, with several students scoring above 40 points and top achievers reaching 43 or even 44 out of 45. These outcomes are a testament to the supportive environment, personalised guidance, and academic rigour that define the CSM approach to the IB Diploma Programme.

IB results are released each year in July. Students can access their results by logging in with their Personal Code and PIN, both of which are available in the “Plan” section of ManageBac. Results can be viewed through the link provided below.

Legalization of IB Diploma

In some countries, the IB Diploma Programme Results document must be legalized before it can be accepted by a university, government authority, or other official organization. Legalization is the process of authenticating the document so that it is legally recognized.

The legalization process includes obtaining an Apostille for the IB Diploma Programme Results document, as well as an Attestation and/or Declaration of Value issued by the Italian Consulate in Geneva, Switzerland.

For most students, legalization is not required. Only a few countries request this documentation. You can check the full list of countries here.

If you are unsure whether legalization is required, contact your university directly or speak with our University Counsellor.

CSM processes legalization requests for our students up to the June deadline. Please note, that legalization comes with an additional fee. 

After this date, students can request legalization independently through the IB Services Request website.
