Grades & Credit

As a general rule, ESP does not give grades for its classes. For some of the longer-term programs where students have homework, do projects, and learn significant amounts, such as Junction and Delve, teachers may informally and unofficially grade their students. However, ESP is neither a high school nor a formal institution of learning, so the most we can do is write a letter affirming the grade informally given out by a teacher.

In general, students cannot receive grades for Splash, Spark, and SATPrep, and only rarely for HSSP. It is up to teachers and program directors to decide whether they want to assign informal grades for Delve and Junction.

Because ESP is not a formal or accredited institution, we cannot give credit for any of our classes. As with grades, the most we can do is write a letter affirming that a student attended a class and attach a syllabus, with a note from the teacher if they have any comments.
