At Washington Connections Academy, we offer the support students need to meet Washington graduation requirements.
Washington Connections Academy works closely with families to ensure that students understand graduation requirements in Washington and have the support they need to fulfill those requirements. Our comprehensive high school curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the classroom—long after graduation.
Students who attend online school and meet Washington graduation requirements receive the same diploma as their peers who attend brick-and-mortar public schools in the state.
Students must successfully earn a minimum of 24 credits to graduate. In addition to the credits, students must complete a High School and Beyond Plan, a graduation pathway in both ELA and Math, and make sure they took Washington State History in either Middle or High School. Be sure to check your school handbook for updates.
Note: As a student that is coming from a prior homeschooling learning environment and considering enrollment in our school, we are unable to directly award credit for any content or curriculum that was taught while homeschooling. If an accredited program was used while homeschooling this can be further discussed with the school counselor. Students who wish to graduate from our school must earn 24 credits from an accredited institution that awards credit. We employ a credit competency policy that will allow your student to potentially earn credit for some courses in core subjects (Math, English, Science, Social Studies, and World Language) through successful completion of a competency exam. We do not award credit for physical education, health, or other elective type courses taught while homeschooling. The course credits required to graduate are included below.
