Academics

All students must register for not less than 5 and no more than 7 full year academic courses each year.  Academic courses are those offered in English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, World Languages and Religion. Students are also required to participate in Physical Education, Health, or Athletics each quarter.  Credit is given for successful completion of each course. 

 

Course selection is held in the spring of each year. Course selection sheets are issued to the student after re-registration. A parent or legal guardian must sign the student’s course selection sheet before it is submitted to her guidance counselor. The Academy reserves the right to drop any course in which a sufficient number of students are not enrolled. The Guidance Counselor reserves the right to make an adjustment of subject choice. Honors and accelerated course selections require signatures of approval from Department Chairpersons. 

 

Students must pass every course in which they are enrolled. A full year failure must be made up in a sixty hour summer session before the student may return to Saint Dominic Academy in the fall. The administration reserves the right to discontinue the enrollment of any student who fails 2 or more courses in a year. The decision whether any student will be dismissed by reason of academic failure shall be at the discretion of the Administration. 

 

Course Requirements: Students must take minimum 5 full year courses once required courses are completed.
