Junior High School Graduation Requirements

Academic records from grades 7 and 8 will be used as criteria for graduation.

1. To graduate from Logos Junior High School, a student must earn twenty‑six 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 between 35 (two times each week) or 50 hours (three times each week) in one semester.

2. Students must earn one credit in Bible, four credits in English, three credits in foreign language, three credits in history, one credit in logic, four credits in math, two credits in physical education, and two credits in science.

3. Each student must earn at least one‑half credit in fine-arts elective courses.

4. Each student must take one semester of chorus sometime during the 7th or 8th grades. (This will fulfill the required fine-arts elective. Additional fine-arts electives may also be taken).

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.
