Event Details

It’s time for Assessment Week 1 2016

FVAD organizes Assessment Weeks twice each year: once in the Fall Term and once in the Winter Term. Teachers formally assess students based on defined skill sets for each class.

Where classes include the syllabus of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) or the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), the graded syllabus for that class is included in the skill set. However, the Academy ballet classes are assessed on more advanced skill sets than simply the RAD syllabus, including techniques of the Russian Vaganova and English Royal Ballet styles.

Report cards are emailed (or mailed if no email is on account) to all students by the start of the next term.

Fall Term assessments identify any difficulties students may be having, alert parents to issues such as lack of knowledge resulting from absences, and confirm selected students for entry in RAD or ISTD examinations in the Spring Term.
