Measuring Outcomes

Classes at the Academy are designed to be rigorous academic courses that require substantial time and focus to master. An A at the Academy is not just a random letter grade—it's a confirmation that you've done increasingly challenging work over the semester, come prepared to class with reading and homework assignments done, actively participated in class discussions and projects, and done exemplary work on major papers and projects. 

We give students a clear, specific academic rubric to refer to and regular academic feedback. Students receive letter grades and calculated GPAs on their official transcripts.
