Academics

A graduate from The Collegiate Academy will not only be prepared academically, but will also be armed with creativity and leadership skills that will enable them to compete with confidence in a rapidly changing world. Students who complete the Academy requirements will be set up with the possibility of graduating with an honors diploma, graduation with distinction, Valedictorian status and will be able to distinguish themselves apart.

Once students are admitted into the Collegiate Academy, students will be required to complete the following components:

12 credits of honors, AP, and/or Dual Enrollment classes before graduation
20 documented hours of extra-curricular activities each year
Life experience in the area of his/her major focus
Senior Capstone Project

After acceptance, students are required to take 2 out of the 3 classes each year

Freshman - English I Honors, World History Honors or AP Human Geography, Biology Honors, Integrated II Honors (if the student has already completed Integrated I in the 8th grade.)
Sophomore- English II Honors, Chemistry Honors, Integrated II Honors
Junior - English III Honors or AP English III, Integrated III Honors, Dual Enrollment US History or AP US History
Senior - Capstone

All Collegiate Academy students are expected to lead the BHS student body in Academics. Any student whose grade falls below a C or whose GPA falls below a 3.0 will be placed on Academic Watch for a semester. During this time, students are expected to raise their grades accordingly. If students do not follow through with the academic expectations, the student will be placed on Academic Probation. At the end of the probationary semester, your membership will be reassessed. If the reason for the probation has been corrected, you will be reinstated as a member in good standing. If the reason for the probation has not been corrected, you will be dismissed from the Collegiate Academy.
