Requirements for Graduation
The minimum requirement for graduation is the successful completion of 18 academic units (credits) plus four years of physical education. A unit is the equivalent of a single full-year course. The Foxcroft School year is divided into two semesters; courses of one semester's length receive one-half unit.

The normal program consists of five academic units per year. In exceptional cases and with permission of the Academic Dean, a student may carry a four-course or six-course load.
