As a college prep school, our goal is to prepare our students to excel at a 4-year university. We utilize many levels of courses (college placement, honors, and advanced placement) to appropriately challenge each student to prepare him or her for the rigor of college. A student enrolling as a freshman can expect to follow a path similar to what is laid out on the table below. To view a particular course description, select the corresponding department and look for the title of the course listed in bold text.
