EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE
• Shelton School offers a full academic program for students with
average or above-average intelligence and learning differences.
• Learning differences include Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Math Disorder,
Written Language Disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder, and Speech and Oral Language Disorders.
• Shelton School emphasizes an individualized, structured,
multisensory approach to teaching and learning.
GRADING
• All grades on transcripts and report cards are numeric and based
on a 100-point scale. The passing mark is 70%.
• The cumulative grade point average does not include physical
education/athletics courses with the exception of Health (for the
Class of 2027).
• An honors designation next to a course title on a transcript
indicates a course with more in-depth content, more rigor, and
more outside reading assignments than a regular course. Posted
grades are grades earned, but grades on the transcript are
increased by five points when the cumulative grade average is
computed.
• A modified designation next to a course title on a transcript
indicates that the curriculum in that course has been modified for
a specific student. The modifications may include less content, less
complexity, and/or fewer and shorter assignments than the regular
course. Posted grades are grades earned, but grades on the
transcript are reduced by five points when the cumulative grade
average is computed.
