Termly progress reviews
Because our project is one of integral education, we devote a great deal of time to these reviews.
From CM1 onwards, each student attends his own progress review. Step by step, according to his age and maturity, he is guided and given responsibility.
At the Academy, the educational, academic and musical project is first of all the student’s. Responsible for his own progress, he opens his review, having prepared it throughout the term.
How the review works
The student presents the review in each area to the teaching team at the end of the period. The points of attention raised at the previous council are taken up again, and the development is observed both by the student and by the adults present.
- In light of the progress and difficulties observed, new resolutions are agreed for the following term.
- Effort and progress are rewarded with commendations or encouragements.
- Difficulties are discussed by the student and the adults.
A place of dialogue
The review is a conversation that leads to concrete actions and realistic, achievable goals for overcoming difficulties.
Once these are agreed and written in the blue folder, students can make progress with the help of all the adults responsible for their education — parents, teachers, educators — throughout the following term.
Ongoing support
Throughout the term, the parents, tutor, educators, choir directors and teachers check in regularly to help each student keep his resolutions.
For the younger boys, captains and team leaders may be called upon to offer extra help.
Commendations and encouragements are awarded in each area to reward excellent behaviour and excellent work, both academic and musical.
An Excellence Prize is awarded to the student who receives commendations in all three areas of life at the Academy.
