School Hours
The school day is from 7:30am until 2:30pm. Students must be picked up by 3:00pm. Except for those students who participate in after school activities or are taking lessons. Any student left after 3:00pm. Will have to undergo homework supervision and will be charged 10U$/hour.
NAS is organized on a block schedule. Under this system, a school year is divided into two 18-week semesters. Each semester is divided into two nine-week quarters.
A few courses will be in session for one quarter (9 weeks) or one semester (18 weeks), while most courses will meet for one year (36 weeks).
Dress
We take pride in the appearance of our students. Your attire reflects the quality of the school, of your conduct and your school work. All students are expected to dress and groom themselves, according to school uniform. A belt is required at the waist. Students inappropriately dressed or groomed will be sent home. Students must be in the school uniform during the regulation day. Special non-uniform days will be announced in advance.
GRADING SYSTEM

Number grades are given for all core subjects. Grades are an evaluation of what you have learned. They become part of a permanent record that last as you live. Institutions of higher learning, potential employers, and the various military services are interested in your school records.
We only keep them - you earn them.
Letter Grade Numerical equivalent
A- Outstanding 90-100
B- Good 80-89
C- Fair 70-79
D- Poor 60-69
F- Failure 59-0
Credit is given for the successful completion of a course. Each course is assigned a fractional part or one unit of credit depending upon the amount of time that course meets. A course meeting for only one quarter would be worth 0.25 credits. One credit would be awarded for a class that meets for one year.
PROGRESS REPORTS- MARKETING SYSTEM
Student progress reports will be sent every marking periods (5 weeks) to parents of students either making exceptional progress or those who need some type of special attention. These reports do not necessarily mean that a student is failling, but that a deficient is noted which needs correction. Progress Reports are given out at the mid-point of each quarter and parents are asked to sign them. Failure to return a Progress Report automatically releases the school from academic responsibility.

REPORT CARDS
Report cards are issued four times during the school year at the end of each quarter (every 8 weeks) A student needs to acquire a minimal grade of 70% or C in order to pass a class in the report card. A surcharge of 10.00 $US must be paid for a replaced report card.

COLLEGE GUIDANCE
The college counseling office works with each student to empower and make informed choices that will honor and serve his/her interests and talents. The process is an extension of the upper school program which allows each student to explore his/her intellectual and creative strengths, passions and commitments, and unique identity. All students who currently attend or have previously graduated from NAS, and need their transcripts sent to a college or university, should complete the "Transcript Request Form found in the guidance office..
NAS is proud that its students do not fit into any one mold, and this individuality is reflected in college choices that are both impressive and diverse.

ACADEMIC PROBATION
Any student earning a number of unsatisfactory grades (D's) or failing grades in two or more subject areas will be placed on academic probation for the next marking period. Review of the student's progress will be made by the teacher and the administration. Failure to improve may result in the student being dropped from enrollment. Students may be placed on academic probation when there are no failures, but where the general level of work in several subjects is below the level of "C".
