Academic standards
What a certificate means here
Attendance is the gate. A student below 80% attendance receives nothing, however well they perform on the test. That is why our certificate numbers are lower than our student numbers, and why they mean something.
- Certificates of Completion
- 70 — 80%+ attendance and a passed test
- Certificates of Participation
- 230 — 80%+ attendance, test not passed
- Total awarded since 2023
- 300
