High School Grades 9-12
NM Trinity Prep is committed to providing students the highest quality education, with a focus on helping them meet their college and career goals. To earn a high school diploma (diploma eligibility), students must complete the required 24 credits. Students may earn one half or one full credit per course. Our graduation requirements follow the graduation requirements for students to graduate with a Diploma of Excellence. These requirements are shown below to provide a foundation from which students may begin planning their course selection. College admissions policies and academic requirements vary widely. In collaboration with their adviser, students will build a personalized graduation plan for graduation based on their interests and academic, college and career goals. For New Mexico residents, advising will guide you toward your eligibility for the New Mexico Lottery Scholarship, prior to graduation.

Start Dates
Courses begin on the 1st day of the month following completion of Orientation. Orientation is a required first-course at NMTP. Give yourself 2 weeks following your admission acceptance, to complete Orientation, and to prepare for your start date.
Courses are two months long, that means, they start on the 1st day of the month and finish on the last day of the second month. A brand new learner at NMTP will complete planning and advising as part of the Orientation Course. The learner will begin with 1 course, and then will pick up the second course at the second month. On the third month, the learner will pick up the next course, and at that point, the learner will have already completed the very first course. That cycle continues throughout.
Start any day any time, and we will get you ready for your course schedule.
