Academics

An "arts as core" program at the Fort Hayes Arts & Academic High School requires that the arts not only be included as core subjects within the total school curriculum, but also serves as the adhesive that unites and interrelates all other subject areas.

Semester Grades

Year long academics are split into first and second semesters; first semester covers quarters 1 and 2 with second semester covering quarters 3 and 4. Each semester course is worth 0.5 credits of the credit type of that particular credit type. Grades will be given for each quarter and semester grades will be the result of the average of the two quarters. This final semester grade will determine credit earned.

Grade Promotion

Each year, students must earn at least five (5) credits, four (4) of which must be in the required curriculum*, to be promoted to the next grade level. Of the four (4) required, one must be in Mathematics and one must be in English at each grade level.
