What credits and requirements does the Honors/AP Pathway include?

The pathway requires 26 credits from Honors and/or AP core courses, including 2 required World Language credits (designated Honors). Elective credits from Endorsement Areas do not count as Honors. Completing this pathway also qualifies learners as Distinguished Achievement Graduates, and AP Capstone™ participation is optional. Learners taking AP courses aren’t required to sit for the AP Exam, though it’s recommended — learners who wish to test should register through Learner Advising ahead of the exam window.

When can I start my classes & how soon can I graduate?

Students enroll any time during the month. At the time you complete your enrollment, we will place you into an Orientation course where you will learn everything you need to learn about working in our school. We will create your planner for you, and then on the 1st day of the month, you will begin your first class. Each class is two months long, 8 weeks. The second month, you will add your second course, and continue the two-month cycle until you graduate.

If you complete your courses in two months, you will likely graduate within 6 – 13 months. Think about it as earning 1 credit or more each month. Your teachers will guide to help you complete your courses, but most of the work and time on task is up to you. We will provide all the support necessary to help you complete high school, and will help you stay on track toward your high school graduation.
