Early Graduation
At Chestnut Ridge Academy, we do NOT encourage early graduation. We feel early graduation can not only limit opportunities, but may eliminate some altogether. If a child wishes to graduate early, the parent and student must seriously consider the possible consequences for making such a move.
We feel the only reasons a student should graduate early are the following:
We feel the only reasons a student should graduate early are the following:
- The student has been accepted to college or tech school and is ready to start immediately upon graduation
- The student is planning to go into the military (Student must be 17 years old)
- The student has the opportunity to go into the work force full time and needs his or her diploma
