Brent Citizenship Grade Descriptors Citizenship Standards

Brent International School Baguio students are expected to exhibit self-management, social, and thinking skills as part of the Brent ESLRs of Responsible Citizenship (ESLR 1), Tolerant Individuals (ESLR 5), and Life-long learners (ESLR 7),

Self management, social and thinking skills cover effort, participation, attitude, homework completion, adherence to deadlines, and other behaviors that are not included in determining a student’s grade. These skills are reported separately in the citizenship grade and articulated either in writing or in person at PTCs (adopted in December 2019).
