RCA requires the following courses and credits for high school graduation. These are more than the graduation requirements from California public high school and satisfy many college admissions requirements, including those of California State schools, the UC system, and many of the Catholic colleges recommended in the Newman Guide to Catholic Colleges.
Parents have the option to tailor a Course of Study that is best for their student and long-term plans. The Director welcomes discussions to ensure requirements are met while also meeting you student's goals.
