High School Graduation Requirements

Academic records from grades 9 through 12 will be used as criteria for graduation.

1. To graduate from Logos High School, a student must earn forty-four credits. (Note: One credit is earned for passing a course that meets 85 hours in one semester (or daily for one period.) One-half credit is earned for passing a course that meets either 35 (two times each week) or 50 hours (three times each week) in one semester.
2. Students must earn two credits in Bible, six credits in English, three credits in foreign language, four credits in history, six credits in math, three credits in rhetoric, and six credits in science.
3. Two of the three credits required for graduation in foreign language must be completed in Latin. Students will be given credit for successfully completing two credits of Latin in the eighth grade at Logos Junior High School.
4. Seniors must be enrolled in six credits of approved course work each semester. At least four of these six credits must be from these Logos courses: Rhetoric II, British Literature, Greek I, Greek II, calculus, physics, apologetics, civics, or Logos elective course. All seniors must take Rhetoric II, all other courses are optional, (provided the student has passed all courses in grades 9 through 11).
5. Each student must earn at least one credit in fine arts elective courses.
6. Students must take the ACT exam during either their junior or senior year.
7. The secondary principal may amend the credits listed in guidelines number one and two to keep graduation requirements current with course changes approved by the Logos School board.
8. Students who are transferring to Logos High School from another school or home school may receive credit for work completed previously when Logos School receives sufficient documentation of their previous work. The secondary principal is authorized to accept this work toward Logos High School graduation requirements provided the work is of similar nature, i.e., similar course objectives and similar time of study.
9. Students who are transferring to Logos High School from another school or students who have failed a course at Logos High School may petition for a waiver of individual graduation requirements. The petition will be reviewed by the curriculum committee.
10. Upon written request of the parents, the secondary principal may waive or reduce up to four course credits for students who have academic difficulty subject to the following conditions: the student is a long time Logos student, the parents have demonstrated a clear commitment to their child’s education by working with Logos School teacher and administrators, the parents and secondary principal agree that the work required is too difficult for the child in question.
