Retention and Summer School - New England Christian Academy

Any student earning a final grade of 49 or below must repeat that course the following school year in order to receive credit.

If a student is unable to a attend summer school class, a certified teacher approved in writing by the N.E.C.A. Guidance Department may tutor him or her for no less than 30 hours using the N.E.C.A. curriculum. The tutor will establish tutoring fees. For each book used from N.E.C.A., a $50.00 security deposit must be left with the office. The number of credits required for advancement is as follows: entering 10th grade 36 credits; entering 11th grade 75 credits; entering 12 grade 111 credits.

For senior high students (grades 9th through 12th), no more than two failing grades may be made up in summer school. Students must achieve a grade of 50 or better in order to be eligible for summer school in that particular subject. Successful completion of summer school classes will result in a passing grade of 65 on the student’s transcript regardless of the actual summer school grade. Students lacking enough credits to advance to the next grade will receive credit for the courses they did pass.

Students in 7th and 8th grade who fail one subject must attend summer school and receive a passing grade. Students in 7th and 8th grade who fail two subjects will be held back.
A student in grades 6th or below who fails two or more major subjects will repeat the grade. Students lacking enough credits to advance to the next grade will receive credit for the courses that earned a passing grade.

Summer school students are responsible to have summer school grades sent to the N.E.C.A. Guidance Department.
