15. How do absences affect credit earned for courses? (Upper School only)

As credit classes are very fast-paced, it is expected that students attend each day of class. If a student misses more than 2 classes during a four-week course, or one 1 class during a two-week course, credit for the class cannot be earned. Please plan accordingly.
