The Academic Program
Lutheran High School students take seven classes a day on a daily period schedule. A full year, one-period course consisting of two semesters is assigned the value of one credit toward the graduation requirement of 27. A one-semester course receives one-half credit. Grades accumulated throughout each semester are reported at mid-term and end of the quarter. Percentage grades are given using the following scale: A = 90-100%, B = 80-89%, C = 70-79%, D = 60-69%. Grade-point averages are calculated on a four-point system with some advanced courses being weighted and earning an extra point.
The curriculum at Lutheran High School is based on the Missouri College Preparatory Studies Certificate requirements. Lutheran High School is accredited by North Central Accreditation, Missouri Non-Public Accreditation and National Lutheran School Accreditation.
