These graduation requirements apply to students who have been enrolled full time at Tall Oaks for 9th through twelfth grades. Students in 7th and 8^th grades may receive credit toward graduation for high school level work completed in those years (e.g. Algebra I, Logic, Latin and History). Subject to approval by the Headmaster, students transferring into 10th and 11th grades may receive credit for courses completed elsewhere and develop an individual graduation plan.
