Graduation Requirements

Students must earn 25 credits to be eligible to receive a JCA diploma, with 22.00 credits being earned by enrolling in required courses. The balance (3.00 credits) must be earned by completing elective courses. Seniors must include one core course (Math, Science, Social Studies, etc.) in their daily schedule in lieu of one elective course. Each student must also complete a minimum of 60 hours of Christian Service to an individual or group outside of JCA during their four years. Students often tutor; work at charity events or volunteer at nursing homes to earn their Christian Service hours.

Detailed graduation requirements can be found in the Parent-Student Handbook.  Questions regarding graduation requirements should be directed to the Assistant Principal's Office at 815.741.0500.
