Curriculum
Classes
Bluffton uses four one hour twenty-five minute class periods as opposed to the seven period system used at other schools. Bluffton offers various honors, AP, and dual-credit classes in Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, and English. Dual-credit engineering and vocational classes are also offered.
Diplomas
Bluffton has, along with most Indiana high schools, adopted a credit system called Core 40, requiring 40 credits — four years of English, three years of Math, Social Studies, and Science, and ten to twelve elective credits, plus two semesters of Physical Education, and a credit in Health Education. Bluffton also offers a slightly more rigorous Academic Honors Diploma, which requires 47 credits, and a basic one that requires 40 credits like Core 40, but lowers the bar in the Core 40 six-credit subjects to just four credits.[1]
