High School Courses
Mathematics (Algebra I/II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry, and high school Calculus), English (Composition/Writing, Classical Literature, Poetry and Prose, Logic, and Rhetoric), Social Science (Ancient, Modern World, and American History, Government, Economics, and Classical Studies), Foreign Language (Latin I-IV), Natural/Physical Sciences with Lab (Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), Fine Arts (Art, Music, and Performing Arts), and Religion (Christian Studies). Some courses are offered every other year or upon interest.
An Adelphia Classical Christian Academy diploma demonstrates that its holder has taken responsibility for his or her own studies, has gained a depth of knowledge (wisdom) in a complete range of classical and modern subjects, is ready for college, and has taken key steps into a life as a responsible and influential Christian adult (virtue). The Academy has over 30 high school courses approved by NCAA. Additionally, the Academy has been a partner member with CSLA for over three year and is now seeking formal accreditation. The table below compares the Academy's diploma requirements (three tracks) to the University of California entrance requirements. Currently, the level of the Academy's accreditation is not formally recognized by the U.C. system. However, Academy students have been accepted to a variety of universities, including top 10 universities. It is recommended that Academy families check with entrance requirements for higher education institutions. Hich school Academy students are required to annually coordinate with a professional college counselor funded by the Academy.
The Academy courses are taught at the college preparatory level so that students are able to apply to colleges (if they choose) with strong academic entrance requirements. With approval from the Administration, equivalent course work from other institutions may be accepted for Academy graduation credit and included as part of the student's high school transcript.
