In order to receive a US High School Diploma and or Transferable Credits, students must be properly placed in courses, complete a minimum of six courses per semester or twelve courses in a year. Each semester course equates to 5 credits, Hunter Academies’ students must obtain and complete 220 credits total in the appropriate A-G categories. Students graduating from Hunter Academies must complete at least 55 credits (or 25%) of the courses required for graduation at Hunter. We highly encourage students to pursue additional credits in order to exceed college entrance requirements.
