At the beginning of every academic year we organize meetings for students and parents in our three different sections and two campuses, explaining how important is Academic honesty in our school. We take this opportunity to share with parents our policy and review with them the practice and the vital support they can give to us and to our students.

According to the International Baccalaureate, academic honesty must be seen as a set of values and skills that promote personal integrity and good practice in teaching, learning and assessment. All students at EAS are expected to strive to develop attributes of the IB Learner Profile. Therefore, the IB Learner Profile is the cornerstone of the school’s academic honesty policy.
