Graduation Requirements

The program of studies at Loretto High School is arranged to fulfill all the state and regional requirements for accreditation and the University of California requirements for college admission. It offers students challenge, flexibility, and choice. The curriculum has been designed so that students may take advantage of far more than minimum graduation requirements, and students are strongly urged to do so. In preparation for college, AP, Honors, and elective courses are strongly recommended. All students are encouraged to pursue study infields of special interest and, if time permits, to enrich their educational experience with courses in all the arts and sciences.

Students are urged to visit the College Center on campus and to consult the catalogs and bulletins of colleges they may later attend for specific recommendations. Our college center Directors provide outstanding college guidance for all students.

Seniors are required to take at least six courses per term. Juniors, sophomores, and frosh should take seven courses per term. No credit is earned for a study period.
