Graduation

Graduation Requirements

In GCA, the graduation requirements are based on attendance, academic performance, and character growth, not age or chronology. As character education forms the core of the Academy’s curriculum, the achievement and growth of the students will be measured by their ability to reach their goals and to demonstrate independence, self-discipline, and a sense of responsibility in order to be eligible for graduation. Time is not a deciding factor for their gradation. Graduation will be considered for students who complete Level 12 in all the required subjects of the A.C.E. curriculum at the Academy. Students who conclude their studies without meeting the graduation requirements will be considered transferred or withdrawn. The Academy reserves the final discretion as to whether students will receive their GCA high school diploma and official transcript.
