For students ready for additional challenge in selected subjects, honors courses explore material more deeply and move at an accelerated pace.

College-level challenge in high school.
AP courses and opportunities to earn college credit through Lawrence Technological University and Madonna University.
A shared foundation
Every student completes four years of English, four years of theology, and a senior thesis.
