Our incoming families often wonder about the difference between Middle school and High school requirements. We want to break down a few key details to help you better understand the transition.

1) Your child needs to complete 220 Credits to graduate from High School.

All students need to complete each course with a D or better in order to receive credit in their courses. They also need to complete a particular number of credits in each core content and elective category. Please see the graphic below for more information.

2) A-G is important for students planning to attend a 4 year university. Our courses meet this requirement.

A-G is a list of content area categories - English, Math, Social Science, Science etc. All students must complete a certain number of years in each category in order to meet the basic requirements for college admission. A-G is University of California and California State University requirement, however, private universities also follow these requirements.

3) AP/IB/Honors/College Prep

These titles distinguish the level of rigor for various courses.

AP/IB - Most rigorous courses. At the completion of course students may opt-in to complete a test, or series of tests, to receive college credit for the course.

Honors - Rigorous courses. These courses are typically designed to prepare students for continued study at the AP/IB level. College credit opportunity is not available for these courses.

College Prep - Is our standard course. This level course meets A-G requirements for university admissions.
