Students sit formal exams in the final weeks of Terms 1 and 3. Mid-term assessments are also tabulated in Terms 1 and 3, and there is a mid-year marks report (early February) for those applying to US colleges. Virtually all courses are of full-year duration. Class periods in the Senior School are 75 minutes, and each class meets five times in a two-week cycle. No classes exceed 26 students, and most senior electives average 12 to 20 students.
Admission is highly selective and students are expected to meet rigorous entrance standards and demonstrate excellence outside the classroom. The school does not offer English as a Second Language (ESL).
