Academic Reports
Grading System
At the end of the term or period, numerical grades will continue to be given. At the end of the school year, academic awards will also be given. The grading system has been adapted so that assessments focus on authentic demonstrations of learning in an online environment. Pen-and-paper tests for most subjects have been replaced with performance-based tasks.
Promotion System
The Promotion System follows the one stated in the Student Handbook with the following exceptions:
- The Grades 1 to 10 non-promotion provision is suspended. This means that at the end of the school year, if a student fails three or more subjects (before validation), he may validate all of those subjects following the validation guidelines. Furthermore, if a student fails one or more validation exams, he takes Extended School Year classes for the subject/s he failed.
- The Afternoon School promotion criteria is suspended and follows the Day School promotion criteria. A full scholar, however, is still required to obtain a year end general average of at least 80. If he does not, he becomes a partial scholar.
- A Senior High School student can validate all of the subjects he fails in a semester following the validation procedure. The maximum number of Extended Semester classes a student may take are three during the sem/summer break and two during the regular semester.
