Breakdown of Semester Grades - Scholar’s semester grades will be calculated as follows:

Quarter 1 – 40%      Quarter 2 – 40%      Semester Final – 20%

Quarter 3 - 40% Quarter 4- 40% Semester Final - 20%

 GRADING SCALE:   The grading scale will follow the ASK Academy standards:

A+ = 96-100 % 

A = 90-95 %

B = 80-89 %

C = 70-79 %

N/C (No credit) = Below 70 %

HOMEWORK POLICY: Homework will be given every week, with the expectation that scholars are completing by the due date.  Do not hesitate to ask questions or for clarifications. Communication is Key! 

LATE WORK POLICY:  Late work is accepted until the end of the grading period (quarter); however only up to 70% max can be earned. It is considered a best practice to not wait until the last days of the quarter to complete missing assignments. 

ABSENCES: If a scholar is absent, please contact Project Manager via email/Friday support to discuss assignment options and opportunities.  

PROJECT EXPECTATIONS: The ASK Academy’s project-based learning method is a unique approach to teaching and learning. Rather than the teacher guiding classroom discussions and activities, students will make decisions within a given framework. . Therefore, the expectation is scholars will complete  2 or more projects within the semester with the possibility to carry over work from previous projects,  ie: part 2 of project 1.
