Academic Program and Grading 2019-2020: The Abbey is on a trimester system, thus 2/3 of the final grade for each class during the 2019-2020 school year was completed under normal educational circumstances (two ten- week terms, two final exams). The Abbey moved to distance learning for the final trimester after spring break 2020 in response to Covid-19 related restrictions. Students continued to take all of their respective courses and complete both synchronous and asynchronous work through various online platforms through the end of May, concluding instruction at the same time they would have done so under normal circumstances. While students did not take final exams, those taking AP courses were expected to take the AP exams offered online by the Col- lege Board. The Abbey maintained a full grading policy (A-F scale), and the spring trimester made up the usual 1/3 of the final year-end course grade. Co-curricular Program 2019-2020: Student leaders continued to work with classmates through on-line plat- forms. The Student Life Office held class elections: candidates wrote speeches, posted videos, and elections were held online. Prospective prefects, International Student leaders, and captains went through application and interview processes. While nearly all off campus/summer opportunities were cancelled, those students awarded Haney Fellowships were invited to revise and resubmit new plans in response to pandemic related hardships. Fall 2020: The Abbey plans on holding full in-person school and running the full range of co-curricular pro- gramming for those students who can come to campus.
