Welcome to Gaia! ::

Blessed Credits are what you need to earn in order to graduate and get on that very special wall. In order to graduate you must be active enough in enough classes to reach the minimum for graduation [6 Credits]. Most classes will have the same amount of Credits, but some may vary. This is all determined by teacher activity. If a class has more lessons and assignments posted monthly, they will be worth more Credits.

Current Credits:

Tools for Change - 3 Blessed Credits
Synopsis: This class is designed to help students change their lives for the better. We learn about the Law of attraction, how important it is to set goals, how our attitude can change a situation, and much much more. It creates a strong community with its classmates, helping them grow from each other. There are virtually no wrong answers, only a step in the right direction.

Greek Mythology - 3 Blessed Credits
Synopsis: Greek mythology is an intermediate class, students who have a basic understanding of Greek mythology will be challenged and those who don't will be able to succeed with a little additional effort. This is a class that can be adjusted to best meet the needs or wants of a student.

Japanese - 3 Blessed Credits
Synopsis: I'm going to start with basic Japanese - Mostly greetings, personal information, numbers, letters, etc. I have studied since 2008, with two ABC Entry 2 awards in Listening and Speaking, Reading and Writing, and have just passed ABC Entry 3 in Listening and Speaking. I will be working on Entry 3 Reading and Writing in September.





When the time comes for you to get your diploma you may notice that they are not all the same. We offer two types of diplomas here in the Blessed Academy along with two different Awards.

Diplomas

Standard Diploma
This Diploma requires that you receive the minimal number of credits required to graduate at all. That means you took classes that added up to six total Blessed Credits, and remained fairly active in all of them. It is a honorable Diploma, and should be accepted with pride.

Advanced Diploma
This Diploma requires that you receive a number of credits above and beyond what was recommended. In this we are looking for Twelve Credits, but since we only have two three Credit bearing classes, this Diploma is the stuff of legends. This is a Diploma of outstanding achievement in achievement. You should feel honored to receive this.

Awards

Saludictorian
This is awarded to only one student. The student must fit the requirements of the Advanced Diploma. This is normally awarded to the student with the most classes. Then it is sorted out by how active their posts are and how helpful they were in the classroom. This is one of the highest awards I can bestow. This is the award of best academic achievement.

Valedictorian
This is also only awarded to one student. The student must fit the requirements of the Advanced Diploma. This is the student that is thought to be the most helpful, active, and attentive in their classes. This student does not necessarily have the highest amount of Credits, but the credits that they have were more than earned. This is the highest award that I and the Blessed Teachers can award to you. This is the award for best character.
