Grading & Ranking Philosophy


To earn an OMIS High School Diploma, students must complete rigorous credit requirements across Math, Science, Humanities, and the Arts.
Grading Scale: We utilize a 4.0 (A,B,C,D,E,F (+/-) grading scale.
Class Rank: OMIS does not rank its students. We believe that a student’s performance is best represented by their individual academic achievement and personal growth, rather than a comparative rank within a highly competitive cohort.

We have signed official Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with several prestigious universities, granting our students unique pathways, resources, and networking opportunities.
