High School
With the exception of all required electives, NGA offers the rigor and classes needed for a high school student to
obtain an official high school diploma. Starting in ninth grade, students receive counseling as they begin planning for
college. High school students are required to take a wide variety of courses in English, mathematics, science, and
social studies. The main English classes in high school are grammar, literature, and writing. For math, students study
courses such as Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Science classes include biology, physical science, chemistry, and
anatomy. Students also study history and government as part of a required set of courses for graduation. These
classes include economics and government. NGA also offers a platform for foreign language courses.
Languages offered on the platform include Spanish and French.
Currently, in order to graduate in the state of Georgia, a high school student must earn a total of at least
23 credits in the areas of language arts, math, science, social studies, CTAE/World Language/Fine Arts,
health/physical education, and electives. Additionally, grades earned in ALL core courses will be
calculated for awarding of HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships.
The current graduation requirements are:
English/Language Arts - 4 credits
Math - 4 credits
Science - 4 credits
Social Studies - 3 credits
CTAE / Language / Fine arts - 3 credits
Health and Physical education - 1 credit
Electives - 4 credits
TOTAL UNITS - 23 credits
Families with high school students will meet with our director to develop a graduation plan. The goal of creating a plan is to ensure that students will have taken all the necessary classes needed to graduate. Students should focus and work hard to avoid possibly having to repeat courses due to low grades. Repeating classes may interfere with projected graduation dates, as well as lead to a lower grade point average, possibly affecting the chances of receiving state scholarships.
At NGA, many of our students graduate with not only the necessary credit hours, but excess hours. Additionally, many of our high school students have had the option of taking classes at local colleges under the Dual Enrollment Program. Many of these classes can be used to not only satisfy high school requirements, but also obtain college credit.

“As a recent graduate, I am grateful for the time I spent at NGA. I appreciated my teachers for the wisdom they shared, their willingness to help students achieve their best, and their strengths. Our director, Mrs. Barb, brings a lot of positivity to the co-op. The smaller close-knit community creates a sense of family and I appreciated having a circle of friends to socialize with. The co-op taught us to be responsible, provided a strong education, and helped prepare us for college and beyond.”
