Procedure:

The Educational Facilitator or Academy Teacher is responsible for planning the appropriate academic load and coursework for each student assigned to him/her.

Kindergarten through eighth-grade students must complete the standard core coursework during the course of the academic year. The coursework includes mathematics, language arts, science, social studies, and physical education.

Additional courses are voluntary and are considered electives or enrichment classes.

High School level students should be enrolled in the equivalent of 30 credits (6 classes) of coursework each semester in order to remain on track towards obtaining the necessary credits for a high school diploma.

High School level students must be enrolled in the equivalent of 20 credits (4 classes) of coursework, at a minimum, in order to maintain full-time status at JCS. Special approval to carry less than a full academic load may occur under special circumstances, such as a graduating senior who has less than 20 credits of coursework to complete prior to graduating. These requests may only be reviewed and approved by the Executive Director or designee.
