The objective of homework is the extension of learning beyond class time. Homework includes both written and study assignments, and should be done by the student independently. Assignments should not require more than minimal parental assistance or supervision. Ample time should be allowed for the completion of out-of-class research assignments or projects.

VMA recognizes that teachers, students and subjects vary, but the following time per night is suggested for homework. This includes both written and study assignments.

Grades 1 and 2      30 minutes
Grades 3 and 4      60 minutes
Grades 5 and 6      90 minutes
Grades 7 and 8      120 minutes
