<p>Our district uses a health course through BYU for high school students because otherwise students are not able to take the courses they need to get into college, if they have to fulfill all the state reqs in the brick and mortar school.
If they are a college class, then they are legit, and if the district uses it for high school requirements, the college has to accept it
The reason isn’t to raise the GPA though- it is just to be able to take more academic classes. Considering the state only funds 5 classes a year for high school students, and that they require 2years of PE/Health, I think 1 & 1/2yrs of occupational education, as well as courses in the arts, it is difficult for students to take 4 years of science, math, english, foreign language and history as well.</p>
