NCAA Core Courses

To meet different student goals and aspirations, we offer four course levels: essential, college prep, honors, and AP®. The levels vary in subject matter and difficulty and prepare students in different ways:

Essential Course

Essential courses have modified rigor, yet include all course content.

College Prep Course

Middle school courses taken at the college prep level are designed to prepare students for secondary study within the course content and discipline. College prep courses taken in high school are designed to prepare students for higher study at the post-secondary level.

Honors Course

Honors courses are designed to challenge students beyond the college prep level and result in a weighted GPA. Enrollment in an honors course requires a grade of B or higher in prior course discipline coursework.

AP® Course

Advanced Placement® courses are designed to prepare high school students for college-level work by offering college-level curriculum. Students who decide to follow the AP® course with an AP® test and achieve a qualifying test score may earn college credit.

One Level

One level courses are accessible to all students and are only offered at this one curriculum level.

Graduation Requirements

Each high school course taken during a term equates to 5 credits. For example a student taking 2 terms of English 9A and B, would earn a total of 10 credits for the academic year.

GPA

It is the policy of Fusion Global Academy not to rank its students on the basis of academic performance. As an educational institution, we are committed to prioritizing learning goals and providing grades that represent their individual progress. Fusion Global Academy uses an alpha system to evaluate its students’ academic achievement.

Note: The above grading scale will go into effect for all new students as of 8/1/2023.

• Letter of recommendation support

• In-person interview preparation

We understand that not every student wants to pursue a traditional college education right after high school. It just isn’t the right option for everyone. It is still important to have a plan, and our one-to-one counselor to student model is perfect for forming one. It allows our counselors to truly get to know each student and customize a personal plan for success.

Endorsements

Fusion Endorsements prove student commitment to a field of study before graduating. Students receive additional credibility on their transcripts, which position them above students who have only completed minimum requirements for graduation. Beyond honors, these Endorsements are crafted to prepare students for college course materials before stepping foot on campus. In addition to endorsement-specific requirements, students earn at least 250 credits to graduate with the Endorsement of their choice.
