Our comprehensive and rigorous curriculum designed from a Biblical worldview, combined with competitive athletics and arts programs, provides our students with essential opportunities to actively pursue God's plan for their lives.

The primary academic emphasis at Bangor Christian Schools is college preparation. A less rigorous program is available to those requiring it. Those students unwilling or unable to pursue these rigors take the minimum courses required for grades 9 - 12 as outlined in the section on high school credits. Students' schedules are worked out by the administration to assure each student of completing satisfactory work for graduation.

Seniors are not permitted to march in the commencement exercises if they lack more than one credit for graduation. Arrangements have to be made to earn the one credit in an approved summer program before the student may march. Bangor Christian Schools is not responsible for the inconvenience caused by a senior's failing courses during the last days of school.

Students planning to attend college should write to the college of their choice for information about the admission requirements. Students are to plan their study program with the administrator to assure fulfillment of particular college entrance requirements.

All summer school and external credits must be approved in advance by the administration for any student. Students are not allowed to take any external credits unless all core courses have been fulfilled.
