School/Course Policies

Please take the time you need to read all of the information/policies provided. If you still have questions after reading the policies, ask your teacher once you are active in your course. A good understanding of the way our courses operate is important to your success. 
  • St Nicholas courses are designed to take 3-6 weeks to complete when students work on their courses 4 hours per day, 5 days per week.
  • The timeline provided to students at the beginning of their courses serves as a guide to completing courses within the six weeks.
