How many credits are given per semester? How is a semester defined?
A semester is defined as 15 weeks. We recommend that high school students take 2 classes per week, although depending on their rate of learning they can also opt to take 1 or 3 classes per week. To stay on track with earning one full high school credit within the span of a school year, the student should plan to earn one half (0.5) high school credit in one semester (15 weeks, covering 14 lesson-topics).
