Other Information
  • Transfer students to the Arts Academy in Grade 11 or Grade 12 must meet these graduation requirements except for Art:
    • A student who transfers into the Arts Academy in grade 11, must take 3 Art Credits over their last two years.  A student who transfers in grade 12, must take 1 Art Credit before graduation.
  • Students with parental permission may request to substitute a VLACS 0n-line course for a failed course to receive credit recovery.  Permission is granted by the Head of School.  To receive this credit, a student must receive a passing grade in the VLACS Course and it must be completed by June 30 of the school year in which it is taken.  If the course it taken during the summer for credit recovery, it must be completed by October 1.

Required student course load
Unless there are extenuating circumstances as determined by the Head of School the following must be adhered to:

  • A student must be actively present while attending the Academy.  The student must be enrolled in 6 credits per academic year regardless of their credit total.  A student must take at least 3 credits per semester, but freshmen and sophomores should take 4 credits to achieve a total of 26 by graduation.
  • The only exception to this rule pertains to students who are approved for Dual Enrollment at a College, University, or Junior College.
  • In grade 9-11, students must take 4 credits per semester (wherever possible)

Dual Enrollment

At present Arts Academy of New Hampshire does not have articulation agreements with schools of higher education which offer Dual Enrollment.  The Arts Academy will attempt to work this out on a case-by-case basis between students and schools of higher education.  Soon the Arts Academy will begin to discuss Dual Enrollment as a policy with schools of higher education.  Permission for Dual Enrollment must be given by the Head of School after a discussion with parents, Guidance, and the school of higher education.

Early Graduation

Unless there are extenuating circumstance students may not graduate until June of their senior year at the Arts Academy.  Permission for early graduation must be given by the Head of School with extensive discussion between parents and Guidance.
