ORAL ASSESSMENT/PASSION ACADEMY WEEK
At Gravitas, we believe the true mark of a student's understanding is the ability to teach the concepts to another person. That's why we employ oral assessments at the end of each term. Students will book individual or small group meetings with their teachers during this week and prepare to demonstrate their understanding orally. When they are not studying for their oral assessments, students are encouraged to make progress on their Passion Academy courses and independent projects.
