Brillantmont International School American High School Graduation Requirements:
A minimum of 20 academic credits including:

4 English credits
3 Mathematics credits (including Algebra 2)
3 Science credits
2 Social Science credits Proficiency in one foreign language

In addition to the 20 academic credits, a minimum TOEFL score of 213 is required of all foreign students who wish to receive a graduation diploma. Those students whose TOEFL lies between 173 and 212 will be awarded a graduation certificate.

Brillantmont does not rank students or report cumulative GPA. Small class size, the high rate of student turnover in international schools and the wide variety of marking systems from which our students come make formal ranking inadvisable.
