Curriculum

All full year courses are worth one credit; one-semester courses are worth one-half credit; quarter courses are worth one-quarter credit.

Freshmen students must carry a minimum of 6.0 credits. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors must carry a minimum of 7.0 credits. The following types of courses must be included in the specified year with the remaining credits from elective courses. FRESHMEN: theology, English, science, mathematics, and Christian health & wellness. SOPHOMORES: theology, English, science, mathematics, and physical education.  JUNIORS: theology, English, social studies, and physical education. SENIORS: theology, social studies, and English, unless already completed as electives.

FRESHMEN placement in classes is based on the entrance exam, a review of their previous achievement test scores, a recommendation from the eighth grade teacher or principal, and family recommendations.

CONTINUTING STUDENTS need a “C” or better in many courses to be automatically cleared to take the next course in sequence. A “C” or better is the definition of successfully completing a course. After serious evaluation a parental override could be submitted if a student has a “C-” or “D+.”  Courses which have been taken and passed, but need a higher level of competency, may be retaken to allow the student to progress to the next course in sequence. The higher grade received will be the official grade for the course but credit will only be awarded one time for taking the course. Courses should be selected which contribute to the young Christian’s life plan.. To view a student's typical course progression click here.

Student schedules, teaching assignments and staffing decisions are based on the course requests completed by students along with their counselor each spring. Parents should approve these requests by logging into the onCampus system (click here) and reviewing course requests with their student and contacting the Guidance Office with any questions. Students will have the opportunity to request course changes from June 1-12, when final grades for second semester have been posted. After June 12, the spring course request process is FINAL and the student is then committed to completing those courses requested for the following school year. As such, it is vital that course preferences are accurate and that course loads are reasonable and balanced.
