Most students take five core courses (English, Math, Science, History, and Foreign Language) in addition to the non-core offerings in Fine Art, Performiing Arts, and Physical Education. A student must take at least four core courses, one non-core course, and PE each semester.

In addition, Service is required each semester as well as Awareness. Students must also earn 2 credits total by graduation from elective offerings, each worth .25 points.
