On Track to Graduation With Mater Amabilis
The credits listed under each subject in the “Subjects” column represent the total number of credits required for graduation, per most state standards. We count as a full credit any subject done substantially 4-5 days a week. We count as a half-credit any subject done substantially 2-3 days a week. “Substantially” means that the student has accomplished challenging reading (such as the books listed in the MA high-school syllabus) with narration, often though not always written, OR has spent at least 45 minutes at a time on a subject for the allotted number of days weekly. A student will graduate with a minimum of 27 credits.
