Latin: 2 years of Latin required for a diploma. This requirement can be met by taking Latin I and II in the junior high or high school years.

• • 7th and 8th grade students can earn high school credit for Latin I, Latin II, Algebra I, and Physical Science taken in the junior high years. These credits will count toward the 20 required for a diploma. It is possible that students who take the courses listed above as junior high students will not need to take five courses for their junior and/or senior years. Not all students will pursue this path of completing high school credits at the junior high level.

• • Freshmen who are new to FPA must take five courses each year, for all 4 years, and accumulate a total of 20 credits, meeting the required number of credits in each subject area with at least 4 credits in the core areas of English, Math, Science, and History and two credits of Latin (see form).

• • Sophomores who are new to FPA must take five courses each year, for all 3 years, and accumulate a total of 15 credits in the subject areas required as determined by an evaluation of the courses the student completed as a freshman with at least 3 credits in the core areas of English, Math, Science, and History and one credit of Latin. A plan will be laid out (see form).

• • Juniors who are new to FPA must take five courses each year, for 2 years, and accumulate a total of 10 credits in the subject areas required as determined by an evaluation of the courses the student completed as a freshman and sophomore with at least 2 credits in the core areas of English, Math, Science, and History. A plan will be laid out (see form).

• Seniors who are new to FPA are welcome to enroll in any high school course, but unless they complete 2 years with five courses each year, and have passing grades at FPA, a diploma will not be issued.
