Middle School
(Note: Fei Tian reserves the right to combine grade levels for certain classes at the middle school level based on student enrollment.)  

*Mandarin Chinese classes and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are based on ability level of the students. All students take a placement examination in English and Chinese upon entry.  We offer beginning to advanced levels of courses.

** Life Skills is a full-year course which combines career and technology training, library skills, home economics, safety, and health information for the middle school.  The school also takes various educational field trips throughout the year to support this information and reinforce content in academic and performing arts courses. 

***Currently, Fei Tian Academy of the Arts California is enrolling students for its Dance, Music, and Fine Art programs. There is also a generalist program for students wishing to focus on academics. The Dance Program meets and even exceeds California’s standards for physical education. For each arts program, 3 units are offered every year. One unit is the equivalent of a 45-minute class every day for one year. More specific details about the Dance Program are contained in the course catalog.

****Algebra I is given in the 8th grade, but this is a high school level course and counts as one Math credit for High School Graduation Requirements. 

High School
(Note: These are recommended course requirements for each grade level according to the State of California. If a student wants the Fei Tian Graduation Diploma, the requirements are higher. There are also extra recommended courses for students interested in admissions at the University of California and California State University. Ask the school’s guidance counselor for details.)

We offer beginning to advanced levels of courses, including AP Chinese for students at an appropriate level.

**The State of California requires one and a half years (1 ½ credits) of elective courses. One semester is for health education. The other year must be chosen from approved academic courses in history, English, advanced mathematics, lab science, foreign language, social science, or fine art. The Chinese Literature and Chinese History courses are offered for students choosing to graduate with the Fei Tian Diploma.
