Graduation Requirements at Kingswood All students must earn a minimum of 26 credits to graduate and should carefully plot out course selections over a four year period. (See the Student Graduation/College Planning Worksheet at the back of this booklet). All students are required to enroll in seven credits of course work annually. This will ensure that the 26 minimum credits required for graduation are met. The purpose of block scheduling is not to assist students in accumulating credits more rapidly, but instead to provide an opportunity for all of our students to explore their various areas of interest in an academic setting. With this in mind, students may make more educated decisions relative to their goals and career choices. The following is a breakdown of the required and elective credits for graduation: Total Credits Required for Graduation = 26 Required Courses English Math Science Social Studies
