Graduation Requirements

For Secondary (9th -12th Grade)

BAICA is a multi-track, college preparatory school, which strives to prepare students to attend universities around the world. In order to meet these varying requirements, specific courses may be mandated based on either American or Argentinean requirements and may supersede any specific courses listed:

Math: 4 credits required: (HS Math courses taken in Grade 8 may count toward this requirement and will be entered on HS transcript.)

Science: 3 credits required

Social Studies: 3 credits required: U.S. History and U.S. Government at BAICA are required for all students who are U.S. citizens or who plan to attend a U.S. university. Non-U.S. citizens who do not plan to attend U.S. universities may take other Social Studies courses designated by the administration in lieu of U.S. History or U.S. Government.

English: 4 credits required

Bible: counts as an elective credit. No specific number of Bible credits is required for graduation; however, it is a requirement that every child enrolled as a full-time student (taking 4 classes or more during any given semester) take a Bible class as a part of his/her course load. In addition, all graduating seniors are required to take a Bible class. All AP courses are considered yearlong courses and credit is only issued in increments of one for these classes.

Physical Education: 2 credits required:

Fine Arts: 1 credit required: Available options include Music, Drama, and Art.

Foreign Language: 2 credits required: Currently Spanish and English are offered. Students in HS required to take ESL/SSL may receive appropriate credit for this requirement.
