Pursuing Academic Excellence
To earn a St. John XXIII diploma, a student must earn a minimum of 28 credits consisting of required core classes, as well as a variety of elective classes. Students who transfer into St. John XXIII from a high school that does not require theology courses, will have one credit waived per year of high school outside of St. John XXIII.
Courses taken prior to ninth grade for high school credit must be designated as such on the student’s incoming transcript. St. John XXIII will recognize these courses for placement only, but will not award St. John XXIII course credit towards the 28 graduation credit requirement. Courses taken prior to ninth grade will not be calculated into their St. John XXIII grade point average.
