Promotion to Middle School

The two standards for promotion from Lower School to Middle School are:

Academic
  • An overall average of C (65%) or better with no failures. The 65% will be calculated using the average grade of the student’s core courses (Math, Language Arts, French, Social Studies, and Science). The individual’s grades for his other courses may be taken into consideration.
  • The student is adequately committed to the process of his education. (Regular homework completion, generally sound organization skills, and engagement in the life of the classroom and school community.)

Character
  • A clear understanding of Crescent School’s core values and a consistent, sincere attempt to model them. No major conduct issues requiring formal consequences, nor a pattern of less serious but ongoing issues on record.
  • Demonstrated ability and willingness to learn from mistakes.

For promotion to the Middle School, students must demonstrate success and commitment to both standards.
