Grade 6 — Middle School Pathway Credit Log (Parent-facing)

Life Academy does not issue an accredited diploma. This log supplies standard United States middle-school course titles, informal pathway credit equivalents (0.5–1.0), and evidence lists parents can print for portfolios / umbrella schools.

Curriculum framing: Universal United States secondary curriculum — not state-locked.

Definition

A full-year Life Academy middle core with passed mastery gates ≈ 1.0 Middle School Pathway Credit (~120–150 hours guided). These are pathway units for the Grade 6→8 record — not Carnegie high-school credits unless a later course (e.g. Algebra I in Grade 8) is accepted as early HS credit by your state or umbrella school.
