How It Works

To obtain their US high school diploma from St. Paul Preparatory School, students will need to earn 48 semester credits. However, the student will not need to take all of these 48 semester credits with St. Paul Preparatory School as a majority of courses, such as science, math, and electives, will satisfy the transfer requirements at St. Paul Preparatory School. As a result, students will take at least 16 semester credits with St. Paul Preparatory School in English Language Arts and Social Studies. The required courses are:


English Language Arts
– General English 9, General English 10, World Literature, Senior Literature, Speech,
    and Creative Writing
