Assessment Policy
Tri-term and semester exams are administered in each course. No student is exempt from exams. The only valid reason for missing an exam is illness. Make-up exams are administered at a designated time and place. If an exam is not taken, an "Incomplete" grade is issued. To sit for exams, students must be cleared from all financial obligations.
SEMESTER EXAMINATION POLICY
1. Semester final examinations, or other appropriate summative assessments, are given in all courses each semester.
2. In order to maintain the integrity of examinations the school will not administer examinations before the scheduled dates, unless specifically approved by the Assistant Principal of Curriculum.
3. The Assistant Principal of Curriculum will arrange make-up examinations that are necessitated by illness or for an exception granted by school administration. Students who miss an examination due to illness may be required to produce a note from their doctor in order to be allowed to make up the missed examination.
4. Students who miss an examination for any reason other than illness or an exception granted by the school administration will receive a zero (0%) grade for the examination.
5. The annual calendar, posted on the school website before the start of the academic year, designates the examination days for the year. Parents who choose to take their student(s) on vacations or family trips or absent their student(s) from examinations for any reason other than illness or an exception granted by the school administration understand that this will likely lower student grades.
Ineligible Students
1. Students must be eligible to take semester examinations.
2. Students are ineligible to take examinations if tuition is owed, fees have not been paid or uniforms and/or equipment have not been returned.
3. Ineligible students will receive an “Incomplete” for courses in which the semester exam is missed due to the ineligibility. If the ineligibility is cleared within a reasonable time as determined by the Administration, make-up exams will be administered. If the ineligibility is not cleared within a reasonable time, a “0” will be assigned to any missed exams and resulting grades determined.
