Academic Program

Since its inception in 1910, Army and Navy Academy has sought to develop scholarship and honorable character in young men. In order to achieve these ends, it is essential that the academic curriculum be appropriately demanding and stress the attributes of good citizenship. The rigorous grade level requirements are designed to put cadets on the path for eligibility to the University of California system. Honors and AP (Advanced Placement) courses include English 11 H, AP Art, AP Biology, AP Calculus, BC Calculus, AP Chemistry, AP English, AP French, AP Physics, AP Psychology, AP Spanish, and AP United States History. In addition, a wide variety of Visual and Performing Arts courses are offered.

 

Below are the Army and Navy Academy graduation requirements for cadets entering in the 9th grade. Cadets entering in 10th or 11th grade must take 6 courses per semester and must meet all requirements, except for grade-specific courses taken prior to their entrance to ANA. Because Army and Navy Academy aligns itself with the requirements for entry into the University of California system, we require that both D’s and F’s in core academic subjects be remediated to passing grades (C or above) through attending summer programs, retaking the class at ANA, or taking Academy-approved independent study classes.

 

The Army and Navy Academy uses the standard Carnegie Unit and Student Hour guidelines. The Carnegie Unit is a strictly time-based reference for measuring educational attainment used by American universities and colleges; the Carnegie Unit assesses secondary school attainment. Per its original definition, the Carnegie Unit is 120 hours of class or contact time with an instructor over the course of a year at the secondary (American high school) level.

 

The following graduation requirements are organized according to the University of California standards of the "a-g" course offerings: History/Social Science (2.5 units) Including World History, U.S. History, and U.S Government (.5 unit); English (4 units); Mathematics (3 units) Including Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2; Laboratory Science (2 units) Including Biology and Chemistry or Physics; Language Other Than English (2 units); Visual and Performing Arts (1 unit); Elective.4 ½  units Including 3 ½ units of JRTOC/Leadership and Education Training*; Physical Education (2 units).

 

*The JRTOC/Leadership and Education Training program prepares high school students for leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens. It is a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities which will benefit the student, community, and nation.
