Maintaining academic progress is the responsibility of each Knights Academy student. A student must earn a minimum of 2 credits each term. If a student fails to maintain academic progress at Knights Academy, earning fewer than 2 credits in a term, he/she may be placed on academic probation for the next term. Academic probation may result in dismissal from the program if a student fails to meet expected academic progress for two consecutive terms. Students must maintain a daily average grade of 60% or higher to receive credit for a class.

Each student is required by the State to have a CLP signed by the student and parent(s). This plan will focus on the goals and objectives necessary to reach graduation. The CLP will be completed upon entrance to Knights Academy and will be updated in advisory throughout the year.

Students must earn 55 credits in order to graduate with an STMA diploma

The Knights Academy Support Team is a system designed to effectively deal with concerns regarding student behaviors. The staff would like to work with you, rather than against you, to solve problems. If a staff member notices you are not living up to your Six to Success contract or we are concerned with a particular behavior you may be referred to a Support Team Meeting with the staff. At this meeting, we will share our concerns and you will have an opportunity to share yours. Together, we will come up with a solution to make your experience at Knights Academy more successful. There may, however, be instances in which we will determine that staying at Knights Academy is not an option and we will help you find a more suitable school.
