Dear Students and Parents/Guardians:

This 2025-2026 Bethlehem Academy Course Guide is designed to assist you as you plan and implement your secondary school course of study. It includes the requirements for high school graduation as established by Bethlehem Academy and the Minnesota Department of Education. In addition, it includes many elective courses for students to consider as they identify interests and prepare for college and entering the workforce.

Parents are urged to work closely with their students in the initial course selections and in the annual review of their four-year plan. As you know, course choices can significantly influence options students have after high school.

We are ready to assist you in making important decisions about your course of study. Please contact our school counselors to schedule a conference or to ask questions you might have after reading this guide.

Sincerely,

Mr. Ed Friesen, Director of Academics and Student Life

Mr. Nathan Bienias, Director of Counseling

Ms. Lynn Kochevar, Middle School Counselor
