Curriculum & Departments

Episcopal High School’s course of study reflects a commitment to the liberal arts and sciences, and a dedication to prepare students for college and for life.

EHS guides young people in pursuing excellence within a caring and supportive community. The seven-period academic day allows ample time for an elective and study period. Students must earn at least 23 credits in four years to graduate, including credits for afternoon programs. EHS also offers more than 40 Honors and Advanced courses in English, math, social studies, science, languages, and many electives, including interdisciplinary studies.

When awarded an Episcopal High School diploma, a student has not only met the prescribed academic requirements but has also striven to establish high standards of honesty, integrity, and behavior. The following represent the minimum academic requirements necessary for earning a diploma:

• English 4 credits
• Mathematics 3 credits
• Social Studies 2 credits
• Foreign Language 3 credits
• Science 2 credits
• Fine Arts 1 credit
• Theology 1 credit
• Physical Education 2 credits

One credit is awarded for successful completion of a yearlong course and one-half credit is awarded for a semester course. A student must earn a minimum of 23 credits and undertake an average of six credits in each school year. One of the six credits is earned in the afternoon program.
