Bellarmine Curriculum

The Bellarmine Curriculum is designed to prepare students for college. The College Preparatory Program will ordinarily fulfill college admission requirements and students will receive a College Preparatory Diploma.

Bellarmine offers two additional curricular sequences. For the student in need of some remedial study the New Start Program offers freshmen an intensive skills curriculum. Students successfully completing the New Start Program then proceed to the College Preparatory Program as sophomores.

For the student capable of additional academic challenge there is an Honors curriculum. Students participate at Honors level in the College Prep Program and may opt for Advanced Placement courses.
