High School Department CHARACTER OF WORK The studies pursued in this department are the same as those in a good high school. The important difference is the stress laid on instruction in the Bible. The courses are so arranged as to prepare students for entrance into college, university, or technical school, in the case of those who are planning such a career. Others, who do not contemplate advanced studies, will find the courses a broad education in themselves. ADMISSION Students who have graduated from the eighth grade of a public school are admitted into the first year of the Academy without examination. Those who have no such diploma are expected to show a mastery of the subjects taught in public school, or take preliminary work. Anyone who has pursued studies in some other academy or high school and wishes to enter an advanced class, will be given credit for the work done in another school. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION To complete the course satisfactorily and secure a diplo- ma as evidence thereof, a student must obtain 16 credits. This requirement is satisfied by carrying four regular studies through the year for four years. Mature students are occasionally able to shorten their course .by carrying an extra. subject or by attending our summer school. Ordinarily the student is required to follow one of the three prescribed courses: the Latin, the Modern Language, or the Scientific. Synopsis of Courses I.
