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

He explains why this was formed and how it was created, the importance of having it accredited by WASC, and the work done to make parents, pupils and teachers aware of its purpose within the school's offering.
