At Arkansas Connections Academy, we offer the support students need to meet Arkansas graduation requirements.
Arkansas Connections Academy works closely with families to ensure that students understand graduation requirements in Arkansas 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 Arkansas graduation requirements receive the same diploma as their peers who attend brick-and-mortar public schools in the state.
To graduate, students must successfully earn a minimum of 22 course credits. However, there are no credit requirements to participate in state tests.
Arkansas Connection Academy students may graduate under the Smart Core or Core curriculum.

The course credits required to graduate are included below.
