Podcast: Why we created our own diploma pathway

In this episode of the Tes International podcast, we head to Japan to chat with Mark Beales, principal (Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme) at Osaka YMCA International School, to hear about a bespoke assessment diploma pathway the school created to sit alongside its International Baccalaureate programmes.

He explains why this was formed and how it was created, the importance of having it accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and the work done to make parents, students and teachers aware of its purpose within the school’s offering.
