How does your school calculate GPA for colleges?

For college applications, S’s school calculates GPA based on 10/11th grades. Honors and AP courses are weighted by an additional 0.4. The GPA does not include summer courses. Although I’m uncertain of the reasoning, I presume the school excludes freshman year grades because those grades may tend to be lower as the students adjust to boarding school in their first year.
