Graduation Requirements
Faith Academy offers three types of diplomas: standard, advanced with technical endorsement, and advanced with academic endorsement. Additionally, those students who are working toward the advanced diplomas are required to have a 3.5 weighted average over a four year period, (9th–12th). Honors classes receive five quality points as opposed to the usual four for regular classes. Taking the ACT and applying to an institution of higher learning is a requirement for graduation. For students vying for valedictorian or salutatorian, remember, we use ACT composite score as a tie-breaker. Also, the GPA’s are computed according to letter grades, not numerical averages.
