The Student Assessment Framework was developed to create a clear, consistent, and meaningful approach to evaluating student progress. Its purpose is not only to measure achievement, but also to support learning, guide instruction, and help students reflect on their own growth.
The framework combines formative and summative assessment practices, student portfolios, regular reporting, and data-informed instruction. It also supports alignment with NEASC accreditation expectations and Ministry of Education requirements.
