Senior High School

We desire for our students to have an uncompromising biblical worldview. All of our students begin the school day in their Connect With God class. This custom curriculum is designed to help students to grow in their understanding of biblical principles, memorize scripture, and learn to encounter God through various ways (adoration, learning, solitude, expression, etc.) 

Weekly chapel for high school is Wednesday mornings. 

Beginning with 9th grade, all subjects, whether passed or failed, are included in the GPA computation. A minimum of 26 credits are typically required for graduation.
 
Grading Scale
100% - 90% - 4

Students and parents should regularly monitor academic progress to ensure all graduation requirements are met. Graduation requirements include the successful completion of required coursework and credits as determined by Mercy Culture Preparatory.

Students are encouraged to work closely with school administration when selecting courses, pursuing dual credit opportunities, or transferring credits to stay on track for graduation.
