Expectations 

Goddard Scholars Academy is an accelerated program designed for highly motivated, high achieving students. The faculty of GSA expects that all students will complete all work to the best of their abilities. We expect that students will do approximately one to two hours of homework each night. If students finish their homework early, we expect that they will spend their extra time engaged in reading, independent research or other academic pursuits that will help prepare them for the rigors of high school. We expect students to maintain a grade average of 80% or higher and conduct and effort grades of A in all subjects.  If a student drops below 80% in any particular subject they will arrange to get extra help from the teacher of that subject after school.  All GSA students will choose and learn an instrument to be a part of our school-wide concert band.  We expect caregivers to be active participants in their student's learning experiences in GSA.
