Why Criterion

Generic tools weren’t built for the IB. Criterion was.

AI chatbots give you an answer. Clastify gives you examples. Khan Academy gives you general lessons. Criterion is the only platform built end-to-end around how the IB actually grades your work.

Everything the IB asks of you

One platform for every core IB challenge

From HL Math to your CAS portfolio, Criterion gives students a trustworthy, curriculum-aligned resource instead of scattered tutors, forums, and generic AI answers.

Step-by-step math solutions

Interactive, guided walkthroughs for Math AA and AI (SL & HL) that build understanding one step at a time — never just a final answer.

Criterion-based feedback

Every submission is scored against the exact IB assessment criteria your teacher uses, with clear notes on how to improve each strand.

Theory of Knowledge (TOK)

Structured prompts and exhibition guidance that help you connect knowledge questions to real-world objects with confidence.

Extended Essay (EE)

Research question builders, structure checklists, and rubric-aligned drafts feedback across every EE subject area.

CAS reflection tools

Guided reflection prompts and portfolio tracking that make it simple to document Creativity, Activity, and Service learning outcomes.

Built for MYP & Diploma

Content and feedback calibrated separately for MYP criteria (A–D) and Diploma Programme rubrics — never one-size-fits-all.

For IB World Schools

Bring Criterion to your entire IB cohort

Beyond individual subscriptions, Criterion partners directly with IB World Schools on a site license — giving every student, family, and coordinator access to the same rubric-aligned platform, with reporting built for your DP and MYP teams.

  • Whole-cohort licensing

    One license covers every MYP and Diploma Programme student, so coordinators can roll out consistent support school-wide.

  • Progress visibility for coordinators

    Aggregate, privacy-respecting insight into where cohorts are strong or struggling across Math, TOK, EE, and CAS.

  • Aligned with your existing curriculum

    Criterion mirrors the rubrics your teachers already grade against, reinforcing classroom instruction instead of replacing it.

Loved by IB families

Trusted by students across Brazil

The step-by-step math solutions finally made HL calculus click for me. I stopped just copying answers and started understanding the method.

DP Year 2 student, São Paulo

Criterion's feedback reads exactly like our rubrics. My daughter knows precisely which criterion to improve before she even submits to her teacher.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Criterion only for Math?

No. Math is where we started, but Criterion also covers Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and CAS — the four components every IB Diploma Programme student has to complete.

Does Criterion just give me the answers?

No. Criterion walks you through each step of a problem or task and explains the reasoning, then scores your own work against the official IB criteria. It's built to help you learn the method, not to write your assignments for you.

What's the difference between MYP and Diploma Programme support?

Criterion calibrates its guidance and feedback separately for each program — MYP criteria (A–D) for Middle Years students, and full Diploma Programme rubrics (including Higher and Standard Level Math) for DP students.

Can my school get Criterion for all students?

Yes. IB World Schools can license Criterion for their entire MYP or Diploma Programme cohort, with coordinator-level progress reporting. See the "For Schools" section above or join the waitlist to talk to our team.

Is my data kept private?

Yes. Student work and progress are only visible to that student (and, for school licenses, in aggregate to their coordinators) — never shared publicly or with other students.
