High School Curriculum

Valley Catholic's classes are based on trained critical thinking, hopefulness, and delight in knowledge. The school aspires to freedom in teaching, not standardization. Its teachers custom-make their classes, choose their books, and teach in ways they find effective, interesting, challenging and humane.

The curriculum is rigorous and ambitious: Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered in Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Biology, Chemistry, Physics B, Physics C, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Studio Art, and Music Theory. In addition to these AP classes, curriculum and instruction to prepare for AP exams are offered in U.S. History, French, Spanish, and Japanese.

Valley Catholic's core curriculum includes Religion, English, Social Studies, Math, Science, Technology, Foreign Languages, Fine Arts, Health and Physical Education. The student/teacher ratio is 14:1.
