International Torah Academy (ITA) recognizes that students may earn high school credits through a variety of learning experiences, including other schools, homeschool instruction, and independent study.

To ensure academic integrity, all credits applied toward an ITA diploma must be formally evaluated and approved.

​

​

Grade-Level Transfer Cap

• ITA accepts transfer students through 11th grade only.

• Students may not transfer directly into 12th grade.

 

Residency Requirement

• ITA requires students to complete at least 12 of their credits directly through ITA in order to receive a diploma.

• The exact number of required credits is determined on a case-by-case basis by ITA administration.

​

Transfer Credit Evaluation Fee

• All transcript and credit transfer requests are subject to a $100 base evaluation fee, plus $25 per half-credit evaluated.

• Fees are non-refundable and must be paid prior to review.

​

Transfer of Outside Coursework

• Credits earned at another high school, college, or approved program may be transferred upon submission of an official transcript.

• Only courses that meet ITA’s academic and Torah-integrated standards will be accepted.

​

Independent or Parent-Taught Coursework

• Courses taught by parents, learned independently, or completed outside an accredited program may be considered for credit only after validation.

• Validation may be achieved through:

  • Passing the ITA Subject Examination for the relevant course, or

  • Submitting an official standardized exam score (e.g., CLEP, AP) that meets ITA standards.

• Documentation such as syllabi, reading lists, and samples of work may also be required.

​

CLEP Exams & Dual Enrollment

• Credits earned through CLEP examinations or dual enrollment college courses may be applied toward ITA graduation requirements if the student achieves a passing score/grade and submits an official transcript or score report.

 

Retake Policy for Validation Exams

• Students who do not pass a Subject Examination may retake it once only.

• The full examination fee applies to re-takes.

• After two unsuccessful attempts, the student must complete the course directly through ITA to earn credit.
