Distinction is achieved when a student earns an overall average mark of at least 89.5% based on her five best courses. Course Selection Information Evening In January, parents of Upper School students in Grades 8 to 11 are invited to attend a Course Selection Information Evening. These evenings are hosted by the Guidance Department and Upper School administrators and are intended to assist parents in understanding the many course options and support available to students in choosing a path that is right for each girl. It is important that students choose courses wisely, checking for pre- requisites and considering their future paths. The school timetable is created based on student course requests. If students change their courses after the timetables are set, there is no guarantee courses will be available. Parents are asked to check their daughter’s course selection and sign their course selection sheet to acknowledge that the course load is appropriate and they approve of the courses.

Students in the Upper School take ownership for their learning and, as such, assume the following responsibilities: 1. checking Veracross (VC) course webpages and school email on a daily basis; 2. using school email to communicate with their teachers, not personal email; 3. meeting established deadlines; 4. submitting their own original work in the manner required by each teacher; 5. reaching out to teachers in advance when they expect to be absent for a short or extended period of time; and 6. making up missed class material if absent.
