ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Grades received in the Limudei Kodesh Department will be recorded on the
student’s permanent record together with grades received in the General
Studies Department. The GPA’s will appear on a student’s transcript, one for
each of the two departments, as well as a combined GPA.
Every student needs a requisite number of credits to graduate and receive
his diploma. Students who have received an “F” or an incomplete at the end
of a semester are required to make up the missing work and pass an
examination to receive the necessary credit. Failure to do so in the required
classes will result in the student’s credits and diploma being withheld until
he makes up the necessary work.
Upon entering FYHS, all new students take placement examinations to
determine proper placement in either the Honors or Regular course. If a
student is placed into an Honors course, he will have the option, upon
consultation with his parents, to change to the Regular course at any point
until the end of the first quarter. The first quarter grade will be determined
through consultation of the academic staff. If the student does not opt to
change to a Regular course before the end of the first quarter, he must
complete the first semester in the Honors course. He then may have the
option of changing before the second semester begins.
All requests to transfer from one course into a totally different course
must be submitted within the first 10 school days.

request before it may be released. This includes student copies or those sent
