Pathway to Graduation

Typically students entering 9th grade or at the time of enrollment to ALA in HS, a diploma track is determined. You can review our diploma tracks in the Course Catalog. The diploma tracks will guide students and families through the courses needed and GPA, testing, or credit requirements for graduation. Tracks can be changed by meeting with your Student Services Advisor to ensure the correct track is determined.
