Course Calendar 2017–18
Independent Study (OS 10.3)
Independent study is an arrangement by which a
student is excused from attending some or all classes
in a course in order to study independently but under
the supervision of a teacher. There is no restriction
on the number of periods that a teacher may allow for
independent study within a given course. The teacher of
the course is responsible for assigning components of
the course, suggesting available resources, evaluating
the achievement of the student and ensuring that the
total work involved is equivalent to that expected in the
time scheduled for the course. Students are expected
to demonstrate achievement of the overall curriculum
expectations of the course. Permission for independent
study may be granted by the Vice Principal, Teaching
and Learning in consultation with the student, parents,
teacher, Head of Department and Head of Guidance.
Students must apply in writing to the Vice Principal,
Teaching and Learning explaining why an independent
study is in her best interest.

Private Study (OS 10.4)
A student may be permitted to take one or more courses
through private study in one of two circumstances:
1. If the student is deemed to have a valid reason for
not attending classes;
2. if the school does not offer the course(s).
The school must be willing to monitor the student’s
progress and evaluate her work. A student who wishes to
apply for private study should submit an application to the
Vice Principal Teaching and Learning as early in the school
year as possible - normally not later than the first school
day in September if the student intends to complete the
course by January 31, or not later than the first school
day in February, if the student intends to complete the
course by June 30. Permission for private study may be
granted by the Vice Principal, Teaching and Learning in
consultation with the student, parents, teacher, Head of
Department and Head of Guidance.
