At Lafayette Connections Academy, we offer the support students need to meet Louisiana graduation requirements.
Lafayette Connections Academy works closely with families to ensure that students understand graduation requirements in Louisiana 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 Louisiana graduation requirements receive the same diploma as their peers who attend brick-and-mortar public schools in the state.
Students must pursue the TOPS University Diploma, which requires 24 credits. To graduate, students must successfully earn the minimum required credits. Please refer to your school handbook for the latest updates.
