Curriculum and Grading
Due to the small class size, The Episcopal Academy does not rank students.
All courses are college preparatory. A cumulative GPA is calculated at the end of every academic
year and includes grades earned at EA beginning in ninth grade. AP/honors courses are weighted by
adding .3 to the regular grade. Only grades from EA classes are calculated in the GPA.
We offer the following 21 AP courses:
Art History, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Chinese, Computer Science,
Environmental Science, European History, French, Human Geography, Latin (Vergil), Macroeconomics,
Microeconomics, Music Theory, Physics, Spanish, Statistics, Studio Art, US Government & Politics,
and US History.
AP scores of 4 and 5 are reported on students’ transcripts. Due to the structure of the curriculum and
scheduling parameters, few students take AP courses prior to 11th grade. As well, Episcopal offers 39
honors courses.
JTerm
A new academic program implemented by The Episcopal Academy for the 2013-14 school year,
JTerm is a two-week, interdisciplinary program between the first and second semesters in January.
Students take one intensive, standard course on or off-campus. Courses are hands-on, experiential
and/or project based.
Global Online Academy (GOA)
The Episcopal Academy
Students with particular academic passions or who wish to pursue topics not specifically offered
with the regular curriculum have the opportunity to enroll in for-credit courses through Global Online
Academy. GOA is a small group of top college preparatory schools around the world. The grades
earned are not calculated in the GPA.
Challenging and nurturing
Academic Integrity
Mind, Body, and Spirit,
The Episcopal Academy does not send disciplinary records to post-secondary institutions. We counsel
students to answer honestly any question regarding their disciplinary history on a college application.
However, information concerning a student’s academic integrity or a particularly egregious infraction
may be disclosed should we determine that it indicates conduct that might impact directly on the
student’s ability to act appropriately in a college setting.
The Mission of
we inspire boys and girls
to lead lives of purpose, faith,
and integrity.
