Academic Requirements

Wasatch Academy offers a diverse range of opportunities for students to develop academically, socially, and emotionally both inside and outside of the classroom. As with any accredited institution, we have specific academic requirements for graduation. In addition to these requirements, we encourage students to take extra courses or electives that appeal to their interests. Each credit equates to a single year-long course, and we grant a half-credit for a semester class. Wasatch Academy requires 24 academic credits for graduation.
