Mastery learning is a driving force in our secondary program, and this is founded on high expectations and academic rigor. Our teachers are skilled at mastery learning, providing students the necessary support and individualization needed to be successful. At QSI schools, the mastery learning model defines rigor through the quality of work, which means:

• Depth of material over breadth of material. 
• Mastery of understanding as well as analytical thinking within specific competencies.
• High quality work on assignments that shows deep thinking and understanding. 
• Homework that is specific, purposeful, and relevant to the competencies being mastered rather than busy work.
• Mastery of the competencies in the curriculum rather than choosing an arbitrary percentage cutoff, such as a 60% or 70% passing grade, as the standard for passing.
