Course Scheduling

Graduation from Norwin High School is based upon the successful completion of a minimum of 25.5 credits in Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 and demonstration of proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics. Because the Norwin School
District curriculum is aligned with the Pennsylvania Academic Standards and Assessment Anchors, successful completion of the District’s academic requirements enable any Norwin student who has demonstrated proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics to graduate from Norwin High School. The requirements are 25.5 credits, divided as follows:

 

4.5 credits	English
3.0 credits	Mathematics Sophomores and juniors enrolled at the CWCTC program will also be required to take math credits at Norwin.
3.0 credits	Science (Must successfully complete three (3) full-year Science courses) Beginning with the class of 2011, students must take Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in order to graduate.
4.0 credits	Social Studies
2.0 credits	Arts or Humanities or both
0.5 credit	Health
2.0 credits	Physical Education
5.0 credits	Electives
1.0 credit	PSSA
0.5 credit	Graduation Project

The previously listed courses are the required courses necessary for graduation. Should a student fail any of these required courses, they must be repeated either in summer school, if available, or the following academic year in order for a student to remain on schedule to receive a Norwin High School Diploma. Students who pass summer school courses will receive a passing grade (60%) on their transcript.
