PSP RequirementsWhat is A Course of study?
A high school Course of Study is a list of all the courses the student will take for a particular school year. This form is used for review when compiling the senior transcript. Download yours on our High School Page.
WHAT IS A TRANSCRIPT?
A transcript is a record of student grades for each semester. Semester Transcripts are turned in at the end of the first semester and at the end of second semester.
CCPSP high school seniors will receive an official non-accredited CCPSP transcript, provided all required Semester Transcripts upon graduation. The CCPSP cannot provide a high school transcript if the student’s file is incomplete nor can the CCPSP be responsible to provide paperwork and/or information above and beyond what has been submitted and filed in the student’s cumulative file. WHAT IS A FOUR-YEAR PLANNER?
The High School Planning Chart is a tool to plan which classes are needed to graduate and when the classes will be scheduled over the four years of high school. Parents should decide if their student will follow the General Education requirements (non-college bound) or the College Preparatory requirements. After careful consideration, please choose either General Education OR College Preparatory and complete this form.
CAN I ENROLL IN YOUR PROGRAM MID-SEMESTER?
Yes, however if your student is wishes to participate in a CIF sport we are not able to admit high school students any later than two weeks after the semester has begun due to the sensitive nature of transcripts and credits, and the strict adherence to CIF rules. If your student is a senior we prefer they are enrolled before the first day of the new school year and no senior may be enrolled starting the second semester.

AcademicWHAT IS AN HONOR COURSE?
An honors course is an advanced course that is considered college-level, although the course is taken while in high school. Examples of acceptable honors courses are those offered by CCHS, junior college and the Torrey Academy. A grade/score must be submitted from the source that provided the course. Be prepared to verify the honors status to college admissions officers. Please make a notation of the honors course on the Semester Transcript.
Please note: Honors courses receive an extra point when calculating GPA. CAN I TAKE JR. COLLEGE COURSES WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL?
High school juniors and seniors may take classes offered at any local junior colleges. Please check the enrollment requirements. All junior college applications need to be stamped and signed by a CCPSP office staff member. Contact the CCPSP office to schedule a time to have the application completed.

IS THERE A GRADUATION CEREMONY I CAN PARTICIPATE IN?

There will be a cap and gown ceremony where each student will be awcknowledged and receive their high school diploma. A letter to Seniors will be provided on or before the end of the first semester regarding ordering information. Students who have met the minimum graduation requirements or more will be issued a non-accredited CCPSP High School Diploma, provided all paperwork and tuition have been submitted.
CAN I PARTICIPATE IN CALVARY CHAPEL HIGH SCHOOL'S GRADUATION CEREMONY?
Students who have met the minimum graduation requirements and are enrolled in the CCPSP before the 1st day of school in September may be allowedto participate in the CCHS (Calvary Chapel High School) graduation ceremony. Interested seniors must participate in all mandatory graduation practices held during the month of June. Student participation in CCHS graduation ceremony is contingent upon approval from CCHS. All graduation expenses are the responsibility of the parents. Certain restrictions may apply.
CAN I GRADUATE EARLY?
If a student desires to graduate early, a plan must be submitted to the CCPSP office for approval. All CCPSP graduation requirements must be met. Not all requests will be approved.
SHOULD I CHOOSE GENERAL EDUCATION OR COLLEGE PREParATORY FOR MY FOUR-YEAR PLAN?
If the student is unsure whether to further his or her education after graduation, remember it is easier to step back into the general educational requirements as opposed to complete the college preparatory requirements. It is the parent’s responsibility to research college entrance requirements as each college has its own entrance standards. Both versions of the Four-year Planner are located under THE HIGH SCHOOL PAGE
