Graduation Requirements

As a New York State public charter school, we are required to ensure that all of our students meet the Regents and the New York State Department of Education standards for attaining a State Regents high school diploma.

Our curricula are aligned to state standards and all students are required to pass the exams as outlined and required for graduation, just like any other student in the State of New York.


The Williamsburg Charter High School, however, goes one step further requiring considerably more academic course work during the four high school years.
