COURSES OF STUDY
Graduation is determined by achievement, not chronology. The A.C.E. program is designed to enable a student to complete his graduation requirements on a schedule commensurate with his ability. Some students may complete requirements earlier than others. Time is not the factor—learning is. Therefore, students remain in the curriculum until they have completed the prescribed course of study. Parent and student should agree on a reasonable course of study and determine what minimum requirements must be met (Academic Projection) for graduation.
The A.C.E. program offers four basic courses of study for graduation candidates: Honors, College Preparatory, General, and Vocational Preparatory. Exceptionally bright students should be prescribed the Honors course of study. The College Preparatory course should be completed by the majority of students.
