The Minimum Pathway

Requires the completion of 22 credits to qualify any student for graduation from TSA. This is is available for students whose goal is entry into technical schools, community colleges, and the workforce.

Do you qualify for the Minimum Pathway?

If you were in 9th Grade prior to August 2020, you qualify to enroll into the Minimum Pathway. If you were not in 9th Grade prior to August 2020, you may not enroll into the Minimum Pathway.

The Minimum Pathway is a 22 credit requirement, for some qualifying learners at Texas Success Academy. Students who have dropped out of public school, may enter into the Minimum Pathway. Current learners may opt into the 22 credit requirement, with parental and advising consent. Adult learners entering back into high school may also opt into the 22 credit pathway.

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.
