Graduation requirements

Graduation is dependent on earning sufficient credits. One credit is granted for each semester passed (a grade of D- or higher). CAJ has set the following combination of credits for graduation:

• 4 credits Bible (one credit for each year enrolled at CAJ)
• 8 credits English
• 8 credits Social Studies
• 4 credits Mathematics
• 4 credits Science
• 4 credits World Language
• 4 credits PE/Health
• 2 credits Creative Arts
• Elective credits to add to a total of 50 credits

For the Class of 2029 and beyond, the mathematics and science requirements have changed:

• 6 credits Mathematics
• 6 credits Science

NOTE: Universities and colleges may require coursework beyond these minimums -- please consult with the College and Career Counselor or contact the colleges directly.

Special circumstances

• Students who are gone from CAJ for a semester or two and are planning to return are to contact the registrar regarding the schedule they plan to take and are responsible to take classes which meet graduation requirements. If, due to schedule conflicts at the new school, a student is unable to meet all expected requirements for CAJ, the registrar will explain the matter to the principal, who will make a recommendation to the head of school for a final decision.
• Exceptions to CAJ’s graduation requirements may be granted by the head of school.
