Agape Christian School | ACSSAIPAN

Graduation Requirements

Agape Christian School (ACS) offers two academic tracks for high school students — the College Preparatory Program (27 credits) and the Honors Program. There is a 100-hour community service requirement as well.

Each high school student receives an individualized Academic Plan, detailing the courses required for graduation. This plan is reviewed and updated annually and discussed during the First Quarter Parent-Teacher Conference.

Students in Grades K–5, 8th Grade, and 12th Grade who fail one or more subjects by the end of the school year will not be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony or have their photos published. However, students who successfully retake and pass their exams will receive their diplomas and may join the next graduating class in the following year.

Honors classes are weighted by 0.5 points, and AP classes are weighted by 1 point. GPA is computed in December and May, and grades are recorded on the transcript.
