Keystone Diploma: The Nuts & Bolts

Keystone places a premium on college success. We have a full team in place to make sure your student has the counseling and education they need to succeed in the application process and the skill set they need once they're enrolled in college.

To receive a Keystone High School diploma, students need to earn a total of 21 credits between grades 9-12. Credits previously earned from another traditional school or homeschool program will transfer to Keystone based on our transfer credit policy. However, five full credits (one in each core subject area and one elective) must be earned at Keystone. Credits must be distributed as follows:

Number of Units Course Type
1 Health
1 Art or Humanities
3 Math
(one must be Algebra 1 or higher)
3 Science
4 English
4 Social Studies
5 Electives

  • Interests. 
  • Future plans, including whether your student plans to go to college or start a career after high school.
