All students are expected to take at least five courses each term. Numerical grades are used at the Academy, and grades below 70 are considered failing. Progress reports with grades, absences, and teachers' comments are provided monthly. Classes are grouped according to selection only. Study time is designed to assist students in developing sound-study habits.
Instructors are available throughout the day for individual assistance.
For advanced students who need extra challenge, the tutorial period is also of service. Teachers may require students in academic difficulty to attend help sessions during this period. Tutoring beyond what is offered at the Academy is available through Brenau Women's college at the student's expense. The Brenau Academy Learning Center is designed for the college-preparatory student with a diagnosed learning difference. The learning center is limited to 15 students.
