Academic Honesty

Academic honesty is an essential principle of any academic program that enhances an educational organization’s credibility and position as a leader. As stated in the IB learner profile, all members of the GMHS community strive to be “principled,” acting with “integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups and communities.” In all their studies, students must demonstrate academic honesty and avoid any form of academic misconduct. Each student’s understanding of academic honesty is documented by completion of the Academic Integrity Canvas course. More information concerning academic integrity and misconduct can be found on the GMHS website.
