At Granada High School we value academic honesty, promote personal integrity, and strive for a culture of shared responsibility.  We strive to foster original thought, individual growth, and self-reflection in all of our students. Granada places great value on the original ideas and reflections of each individual student, and academic honesty is expected throughout our school community.  We recognize that the understanding and practice of academic honesty is a central feature of teaching and learning.

We believe that the purpose of assessment is both to guide instruction and to provide students with an opportunity to receive feedback that allows them to reflect on their own learning.  All assessment should be authentic and relevant. It should be developed to complement implementation of the curriculum and formatted in a manner that allows for all learners to demonstrate their best ability regardless of different learning styles.  At Granada High School, we use assessment to foster a culture of learning that allows for both students and teachers to grow.

Granada High School recognizes that language is the primary vehicle for learning.  The ability to communicate will be instrumental to our students’ success in whatever endeavors they pursue.  Their ability to effectively communicate with people from wide ranging backgrounds will impact their capacity as leaders and contributors in our global society.
