High School Academics
Academic Policy
We encourage our students to succeed in all things that they do, and early on we show our students the opportunities they have to succeed in achieving one of our diplomas. San Gabriel Academy offers a General A, B, and Honors Diploma. Requirements differ for each diploma. Students are encouraged to do their very best, and supersede the minimum requirements, which will place them in a better position for acceptance into the college of their choice.
