Graduation Requirements: Twenty-one total credits

Credits a student earned while in Middle School do not count among the credits required for graduation from the Upper School except for Algebra I or French or Spanish I.  All students must be enrolled in an English course at all times, and it is recommended that all students take a mathematics and science course in twelfth grade.  Selective colleges prefer to see at least three years of the same foreign language; four years is encouraged. Students may not graduate from Davidson Day School in a shorter period than four years.
