Students who are transferring to the Rhetoric School from another school or home school may receive credit for work completed previously when Geneva receives sufficient documentation of their previous work. The Rhetoric School headmaster is authorized to accept this work toward Geneva graduation requirements provided the work is of a similar nature, i.e., similar course objectives and similar time of study.
Students who transfer to Geneva with at least one year of high school credit from another institution will provide an official copy of their high school transcript from their prior school. These credits will not be transferred onto the Geneva transcript but rather the entire transfer transcript will be submitted along with the official Geneva transcript for the purposes of college admissions. Only classes taken at Geneva are used in calculating the overall GPA.
Admission to the Rhetoric School is selective and transferring can be difficult. Because the process of a Geneva education, not just credits, is what is important, no students may apply for transfer admission after sophomore year. Students who transfer from classical Christian schools similar to Geneva may appeal for the opportunity to apply as upperclassman.
