Once your student enters the ninth grade, we ask that your progress reports become a bit more detailed.  We ask that you list subjects, grades, and extra curricular activities on each progress report.  This additional information will allow us to compile a transcript once your student has completed all required credits to graduate.  An FCA Diploma will only be issued until after an FCA transcript has been completed.

* Students are not limited to minimum credits.

* Students will be allowed to graduate early as long as the requirements are met.

Transcript fee $50 - Diploma fee $25

* Transcripts & Diplomas will not be issued if there is a balance due or the required progress reports have not been received.

* 1 college semester course = 1 full high school credit

* 1 credit equals 120 to 180 hours ranging from subject.

* Sciences (labs) & maths = 180 hours

* English, history, social studies = 150 hours

* Electives, extra-curricular = 120 hours

* 60 hours = ½ (.5) credit 30 hours = ¼ (.25) credit

Our grading scale: A=Mastery of content, B=Comprehension, C=Basic understanding, F=Failure to complete or understand material, P=Pass in a Pass/Fail course

A+ (97-100) A (93-96) A- (90-92) B+ (87-89) B (83-86) B- (80-82)

*If a student has not completed the required credits by the age of 19, it is suggested that an alternative course be taken to obtain their diploma. Option: GED (General Equivalency Diploma) tests are a group of four subject tests which, when passed, provide certification that the test taker has US level academic skills.
