Transfer of Credit

The sending schools currently grant credit for HMI Semester classes. We send grades and written reports to schools and parents at the middle and end of the semester.

The HMI Semester matches sending school curriculum in languages, mathematics, and history. Questionnaires are sent to sending school teachers in these subjects so that HMI teachers can plan to cover similar skills and topics. Students often return to their home schools at the same level or ahead of their peers. We offer place-based content in English, Natural Science, and Practices and Principles. Although content such as course readings differs from home school courses in these subjects, grade appropriate skills--such as writing, analysis and problem solving--are taught.

Periodically, students are enrolled in a course, such as Latin, at their home school that does not match a course offering at the High Mountain Institute. In these instances, students enroll in an independent study at HMI, complete the course during the summer, or arrange class schedules to take the course during the 12^th grade year.
