The Honors Academy of Literature recognizes that there are solid arguments to be made both in favor and against homework, and can find research to support both practices. However, in surveying local high schools, all reported that they require students to complete homework, and that homework makes up a portion of the students’ grade. A study conducted by Challenge Success from 2018-2020 found that high school students spend on average 2.7 hours per night working on homework. We believe that it is important to build work-at-home stamina among scholars, so that they are best prepared for high school, and have instituted a developmental homework progression plan to support scholars in building this skill set. Our homework policy requires each scholar to complete 10 minutes per grade-level per night (4 nights a week) of homework:
