In High School students have more independence and freedom to choose from a variety of courses while also taking their core courses.
High School consists of Grades 9 through 12. High School Graduation requirements are based on credits earned. Each full-year course is worth 1 credit. Students must have at least 25 credits to graduate. Students take a mix of required courses and elective courses.
| Mathematics | 3 credits |
| English | 4 credits |
| Social Studies | 3 credits |
| Science | 3 credits |
| PE | 1 credit |
| Foreign Language | 2 credits |
| Fine Arts | 1 credit |
| Vietnamese | 4 credits (Vietnamese Nationals) |
| Electives | Up to 8 credits |
AP Courses are University-level courses that students in Grades 11 or 12 may take.
Each year we are expanding our AP choice offerings. Students electing to take an AP course must obtain a recommendation from a teacher or the Head of School stating that the student is able to read a University-level textbook and has the potential to complete the rigorous requirements of the course. All students taking an AP course must take the exam for the course.
*The Art Portfolio counts as the exam for AP Art. The exam is externally scored by the College Board. Scores range from 1 to 5.
