At Kansas Connections Academy, we offer the support students need to meet Kansas graduation requirements.
Kansas Connections Academy works closely with families to ensure that students understand graduation requirements in Kansas and have the support they need to fulfill those requirements. Our comprehensive high school curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the classroom—long after graduation.
Students who attend online school and meet Kansas graduation requirements receive the same diploma as their peers who attend brick-and-mortar public schools in the state.
Students must successfully earn a minimum of 21 credits to graduate. Be sure to check your school handbook for updates. The course credits required to graduate are included below.
