Scholars Academy
The Scholars Academy at Wagner is a well known and prestigious program. There are many advantages to being in this group of students. All "scholar" classes are weighted by 1.05, meaning that the average of the class is multiplied by 1.05. The weighted average of the class is the grade that is used in the configuration of the final average. To become a scholar, you must have above a ninety average in at least three classes. To remain in the program you must maintain above a 85 average in at least three scholars classes. An overall average below eighty five will result in scholars probation and eventually removal from the program.

Famous quotes containing the words scholars and/or academy:
“Statistics justify and scholars seize
The salients of colonial policy.
What is that to the white child hacked in bed?
To savages, expendable as Jews?”
—Derek Walcott (b. 1930)
“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
