Academic guidance is provided for sixth grade
students and their parents. Jr. High School is a time of preparation
for the important High School years. We encourage using this
time as an opportunity to reassess the academic skills, study
habits, behaviors and organizational skills which will make
the high school years run more smoothly. Identify weak areas
and concentrate on strengthening where needed. Some students
may be ready to move on into high school level subjects. High
school credit may be granted provided that all Jr. High requirements
have been fulfilled.
If you have a student who plans to receive an Eighth Grade
Diploma from Harvest Christian Academy, we recommend that he/she
work through the list of required classes (in any order),
and add the appropriate number of electives to reach 100 credits.
Whenever this occurs, the student may graduate, whether or not
two years have passed.
HCA requires 100 credits for 8th grade graduation. Of this,
80 credits are to be earned in required courses and the remaining
20 credits may be earned in electives.
The required course of study is as follows:
Bible………………..…….10 credits
English…………………....20 credits
Mathematics…………..…20 credits
Science……………….…..10 credits
Physical Education…….…10 credits
History……………………10 credits
The above course of study totals 80 credits leaving 20 credits
to be earned in areas to be determined by the individual needs
and goals of the student. Credits earned toward graduation are
to not exceed 20 credits in any one area of study. Once credit
requirement are met for Jr. High, student may begin to earn
high school credit providing the curriculum used is high school
level.
