Program Requirements

Requirements for Graduation

Twenty-four-and-one-quarter credits are required for graduation from the Upper School. Each high school student is provided the opportunity to earn the credits while in the Upper School, and The Summit provides each student with educational options that meet the state minimum standards effective September 1983. These include, but are not limited to, independent study courses, educational travel and the Senior Search mentor program. Within our framework of required credits, there are various departmental requirements. The credits are accumulated as follows:

Religion: One credit during each year in attendance
English: Four credits
Social Studies: Three credits
Mathematics: Four credits
Science: Three credits
World Language: Three credits
Physical Education: One-half credit
Health Education: One-half credit
Fine Arts: One credit
Electives: Three credits
Speech: One-quarter credit
Leadership: One-half credit

In addition to these required credits, each student must also participate in a Computer Applications course, successfully pass the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT), and successfully complete a Senior Search project prior to graduation.
