Philosophy
The American School of Antananarivo places great ethical value on honesty and integrity. Students, faculty, administration and parents share the responsibility for maintaining the integrity of the educational experience and preserving high standards of excellence. Academic dishonesty undermines the ideals and purposes of education and severs the bonds of respect and trust between teacher, student, parent and society. Academic malpractice compromises the process of fair and equitable evaluation of all students' academic performance and erodes the quality and value of the diploma awarded by the ASA. The ASA is guided in our expectations and practices by the Learner Profile attributes.
It is the policy of the American School of Antananarivo that:
All students understand the meaning and significance of academic honesty.
All work produced by students is their own, authentic work
All such authentic work has the ideas and words of others fully acknowledged.
Students understand and obey the rules relating to proper conduct of examinations.
Students understand the difference between collaboration and collusion, and that it is unacceptable to present work arrived at through a process of collusion.
ASA's Academic Honesty Policy can be found here. Please note that it includes the responsibilities of the parent/guardian in helping us to promote and uphold academic honesty, as well as the rights and responsibilities of students. There is also a useful frequently asked questions section.
