Graduation Requirements

Course Selection

Each year, students at our private high school work out a full, balanced program under the direction and with the approval of the Director of Upper School and the student’s advisor and parents. Prior to course registration for junior and senior year, students are encouraged to meet with the College Counseling Department concerning course selections, as an individual’s academic program is a critical consideration in the college placement process.

Winchester Thurston students embrace the academic opportunities presented to them; for example, a student may study more than one language or opt to take two science courses in a given year. As a result, it is not unusual for a student to graduate from WT with more than the minimum 140 credits.
