Graduation Requirements
The academic program for Grades 9 to 12 was developed to meet and exceed the requirements of the more selective colleges and universities in the United States and Puerto Rico. All core subject courses meet Puerto Rico's "Nivel Avanzado" criteria. Capable and motivated students who meet certain criteria may enroll in Advanced Placement (AP) courses beginning in Grade 10.
Achieving a TASIS Dorado diploma requires a minimum of the credits and/or years of study as outlined in the below table, plus participation in our annual Exploration Week, completion of 100 hours of community service, and exhibit technological competence.
