Students transferring into Catholic Academy must complete at least 25% of their graduation credits through our program in order to receive a Catholic Academy diploma. Students must meet the minimum credit requirements in each subject area as outlined above.
While these are the minimum requirements for graduation, students aiming for competitive colleges or universities are encouraged to pursue a more rigorous course load beyond the minimum. We understand that every student’s future goals are unique, and we are committed to supporting each learner with a customized academic plan that aligns with their aspirations.
The G.R.O.W Model
Our School Counselors use this powerful framework to support student development:
• G – Goal: What are our shared hopes for our students’ growth this year?
• R – Reality: What’s working well—and what’s not—in the virtual space?
• O – Obstacles: What challenges are families currently facing at home or online?
• W – Work: What can we do together to move forward with purpose and support?
