The school year is divided into two semesters. Students will attend a 5-credit class five times a week for one semester. Classes worth 2.5 credits will be attended every day for half the semester and then swapped with another class halfway through the semester; classes worth 2.5 credits are rarely given every other day. Each course is taught at an honors level even if the course name is not denoted with that designation. Students who pass every class will acquire 40 credits each school year. Students must have 160 credits in order to graduate, though the state of New Jersey only requires 120 credits to graduate from high school.
