Graduation Requirements

A full course, taken for one year, gives the student one unit of credit. Courses not taken for a full year are given partial units of credit in accordance with the time frame of the class. Each student must complete satisfactorily the following:

  • A four-year sequence in Theology, English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies
  • A World Language to a third-year level. This is the minimum requirement. Please see the Higher Education Admissions section for more information. It is hoped that students enter SJCA with one unit of World Language credit.
  • Health and Driver Education; fifty hours of Physical Education per year for two years
  • Four credits of electives
  • A minimum of twenty-five Christian Service hours each year with a written reflection
  • Successful completion of the graduation requirements will equal a minimum of 27 units of credits
