Graduation Requirements
In order to graduate from Caldwell Academy, a student must satisfy all graduation requirements and must complete a minimum of 13 credits at Caldwell. Furthermore, all graduates must complete their junior and senior year at Caldwell as full-time students. Caldwell will, however, consider allowing a junior or senior to complete a semester abroad (approval will be handled on a case-by-case basis.) The principal has the authority to waive certain graduation requirements and to approve or disapprove credits transferred from other schools, including home-school courses.
