Completing SOS Units

Generally, one unit takes approximately 3 weeks to complete. The curriculum is based on each student's own speed of learning, therefore, a student can take more than 3 weeks to complete a unit. We recommend that each unit be completed within a period of 3 weeks in order to stay on track.
Testing (for High school only)
Testing begins promptly at 9 a.m. If a student is not ready to take the exam by then, he/she can choose not to take the test that day.

Cheating
Students caught cheating will be warned once and suspended for the second offense.

 

Homework

The responsibility for scholastic achievement is placed on students. Most students should not need to take academic work home. The goals set by the student and reviewed by the supervisor will not surpass the student's capability. Should the student not meet his goals for that day he will be required, to complete the work at home or after school in the Learning Center. If the student needs to complete homework, a homework slip showing the lessons to be completed will be issued. The slip is to be signed by the parent and returned the following day. No resource books may be taken home without special permission.

Graduation Requirements

A minimum of twenty-three units of credit is required for graduation. A prescribed course of study will be determined through a conference among the staff, parents, and student.

HONORS COURSE OF STUDY LEADING TO A DIPLOMA

(Using the Carnegie Unit System)
The Honors program includes the standard college preparatory courses plus additional attainment of the very highest quality preparation for a college education.
The Honors student must complete 27 credits with at least a 90% overall average. He should demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively in written and oral presentations. He should score at least 22 on the ACT or 1000 on the SAT-I, and 12.9 GE on a standardized achievement test. Honors students may graduate as soon as all requirements are satisfied.
COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSE OF STUDY
LEADING TO A DIPLOMA


(Using the Carnegie Unit System)
Students who choose this category are those who intend to attend college. Some subjects may vary among students, depending on the entrance requirements of the colleges they plan to attend. College catalogs should be referenced by candidates and parents to select specific courses that need to be completed in high school to meet specific college entrance requirements. (See Honors Program, above for a prestigious college preparatory course of study.)

NOTE: Conventionally taught courses such as choir, band, auto mechanics, etc., may earn elective credit. Credits are given on the basis of actual hours of classroom instruction: 120-160 hours for one year credit, and 60-80 hours for one semester credit.
GENERAL COURSE OF STUDY LEADING TO A DIPLOMA

(Using the Carnegie Unit System)
This course of study is the minimum course of study for a standard high school diploma. Students earning this diploma must complete at least 8 full semester after age 14, satisfy all course requirements, and earn a minimum of 23 units.
