graduation requirements

​Our full time students at NFC Academy will have their high school homeschool programs designed working with the Academy Academic department preparing them for their next step into college. The student will be able to design their own “print” on their course of study if there is specific interest when it comes to electives; however, key core academic requirements will need to be included. 

Students will graduate with a minimum of 24 credit hours.  There are specific courses within the graduation requirements which must be completed, and they will be listed in their respective areas.
​

HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE 

TRADITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL 6 X 2
Most high schools follow a traditional six period day and that is our standard schedule. For high school students to meet the required 24 credit minimum for high school graduation, they take six courses covering both semesters. 
​
First Semester*                                                      Second Semester*
New Testament Survey - 0.5 credit                         New Testament Survey - 0.5 credit
English I - 0.5 credit                                                English I - 0.5 credit
Algebra I - 0.5 credit                                                Algebra I - 0.5 credit
World History  - 0.5 credit                                       World History - 0.5 credit
Physical Education  - 0.5 credit                               Health - 0.5 credit
Earth Science - 0.5 credit                                        Earth Science - 0.5 credit

*Sample 9th grade schedule of courses used as an example.
ADJUSTED HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE 4 X 2
​Homeschooling gives the student the opportunity to complete their courses in a schedule that best fits their own schedule and how they learn best.  One option will be taking 4 courses each semester and completing each course taken during a semester. The student still earns the 6 credits needed to remain on target for 24 credits at graduation. 
​
First Semester*                                                    Second Semester*
English I - 1.0 credit                                              Algebra I - 1.0 credit
World History - 1.0 credit                                      Earth Science - 1.0 credit
Physical Education- 0.5 credit                               Health - 0.5 credit
New Testament Survey - 0.5 credit                        New Testament Survey - 0.5 credit

*Sample 9th grade schedule of courses used as an example.

FLEX SCHEDULE 
If you want a different schedule one semester than the other then consider the FLEX schedule. Maybe you have something that needs more of your time one semester, so the FLEX schedule may be just what you need. As you would expect with this schedule you would be investing more time in your studies one semester of the two semesters.  You still will earn the six credits as you move toward graduation with 24 credits required. 
​
First Semester*                                               Second Semester*
English I - 1.0 credit                                         Algebra I - 1.0 credit
World History - 1.0 credit                                 Earth science - 1.0 credit 
Physical Education - 0.5 credit                         Health - 0.5 credit
New Testament Survey - 1.0 credit 

*Sample 9th grade schedule of courses used as an example.

Note:  Not all schools will not offer each of these options.  If you chose to transfer during a semester to a school that does not offer the optional schedules you may have some extra work to do. Even as the scheduling options provide some time benefits, nothing in the schedule suggests you will work less time in a course to complete all required assignments.  You may invest more time in one semester over another in such a circumstance. Physical Education and Health are one semester courses for .5 credit each.

your path to graduation

Our full time students at NFC Academy will have their high school homeschool course program designed working with the Academy Academic department preparing them for their next step into college. The student will be able to design their own “print” on their course of study if there is specific interest when it comes to electives; however, key core academic requirements will need to be included. Students will graduate with a minimum of 24 credit hours.

​Each student will have their own Path to Graduation which is updated each year in high school.  A student starting in 9th grade at NFC Academy will have their Path to Graduation updated each year as they progress toward graduation.

Transfer students to NFC Academy will have their first Path to Graduation created when they enter and updated each new school year.

a sample online HIGH SCHOOL course of study

A typical schedule of courses for a student entering ninth grade would be like below and then the succeeding years follow that. Most students will have a schedule like below, but some students may want to begin their world language early or take some other course in a different year.  The course of study is flexible, but the student must complete their high school years with 24 credits and ensure they have meet all required courses.  Those courses which have a prerequisite must take that prerequisite first...for example, a student must satisfy the Algebra I requirement before she can take Algebra II.

Your copy of the Parent Portal Handbook will give you the details to see your student(s) work and the NFC Academy calendar.

Our virtual lab experience provides to the student a consistent lab experience with real scientific accuracy and adherence to scientific principles just as if you were conducting the labs in real time not just watching animations.
