High School Graduation Requirements

Bridgeway Academy high school students may select one of four Academic Tracks. The requirements for each homeschool academic track were established based on careful research and interviews conducted with post high school vocational schools, community colleges, state colleges and ivy league colleges and universities.

We recommend our college-prep option for students hoping to attend state colleges and universities and our honors program for students who plan to apply to more competitive institutions.

Your academic advisor will work with you to define the actual course requirements within each program to meet your specific needs. Please note, all students must take Successful Living, Apologetics or another Bible course in order to graduate.

All high school students wishing to graduate from Bridgeway Academy MUST complete a minimum of 5 credit courses (equivalent to one full school year) to be eligible for our diploma. High school Seniors transferring to Bridgeway who require less than 5 credits to complete the graduation track of their choice will be expected to take additional elective courses to meet this 5 credit minimum.
