WHAT CAN A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL DO FOR MY CHILD?
The teaching of Catholic values and faith formation are core to the curriculum in Catholic high schools. Equally important is the religious community of adults surrounding Catholic schools, which supports the schools’ mission. Catholic schools mandate that their students take more college preparatory classes. Catholic schools provide a challenging academic curricula in which students thrive, particularly in religious studies, mathematics, science, English and other core subjects. – From Catholic High Schools Information Booklet 2009-2010. Watch for the 2010-2011 edition of the booklet in the Sept. 10 issue of Catholic San Francisco
