ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY TFS' learning environment expects all students to be honest and principled in their actions as learners. The Academic Honesty Policy outlines the agreements about how to identify sources and how to give credit where credit is due. Students are expected to use these standard guidelines when they set out to learn and share that learning with others. Each student is responsible, therefore, to know what these guidelines are and to make sure they are properly used in their learning process. Students are encouraged to plan in advance, prioritize work, and identify issues early on in an assignment to help ensure that academic honesty is not undermined. Seeking help from a teacher or the school Teacher- Librarian before handing in an assignment will also help ensure your work is properly undertaken.

As a statement of purpose, this policy serves to underpin a well-planned continuum of practice which is consistent, coherent and developmentally appropriate across the school. This policy is founded upon the TFS mission and draws upon its tradition. The policy complies with curricular requirements for Ontario, France and the International Baccalaureate Programs and reflects leading research on best practice in this domain. In turn, this policy seeks to aid communication about student achievement between teachers, students and parents. Ultimately, it facilitates students' progress in their learning. This policy document includes sections on the rationale and process for determining marks, how missed/late work is handled, and the TFS evaluation scale. Please go to your branch website under: Teaching and Learning > Academics to read a full description of this policy. TUTORING POLICY AND PROGRAM There is a range of supports available at TFS to better equip all students with the tools they need for academic success. These often include extra help from teachers, homework skills club, math clinics, virtual tutorials, peer mentoring and small group sessions for study strategies. There are no fees for any of these supports. At times, individualized tutoring is recommended to be in the best interest of the student. The Branch Principal
