How are students evaluated? Are report cards issued?
Sunset Sudbury School doesn’t evaluate students. Absence of imposed evaluation makes several wholesome results more likely. • Development of self-assessment habits and introspective skills. • Preservation of natural curiosity and motivation. • Confidence in their own grand ideas and orginal perception of the world. • Natural growth based on own interests rather than to please others. Absence of parental reporting preserves individual student privacy, supports the function of the campus as a place for development of children’s independence, maximizes intrinsic motivation and supports authentic, trusting staff/student relationships. In short, absence of reporting contributes to the essential character of the program and helps to secure its benefits.
