Our curriculum is designed to educate the whole person.  The school is blessed with a caring and dedicated faculty.  Great emphasis is given to the formation of Catholic/Christian men and women.  The school is committed to providing a course of study that is academically rigorous and that prepares the student for the challenges of the 21st century.  While our academic program is primarily a college preparatory curriculum, there are number of special programs to assist students with special needs.  Students are rostered into their various courses based on standardized test scores, their current grades and teacher recommendations.  Courses are grouped according to ability level.  These ability levels are called tracks and are described below.

• AP (tr. 5) refers to courses that utilize the course of study developed by the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board. All students registered in an AP level course are required to take the AP exam in May. (A separate fee set by the College Board must be paid for the examination.)

• Honors (tr. 1)refers to college preparatory courses for students of high or exceptional level ability and industry. Admission to this program is based upon past academic achievement in the subject area, teacher recommendation, and department chairperson approval.

• Track 2 refers to college preparatory courses for students of above average ability. 

• Track 3 refers to college preparatory courses for students of average ability. 

• Track 4 refers to students who experience academic difficulty and/or require strengthening in basic skills.
