| Central
Catholic’s academic program is designed around the five-fold
Marianist vision for education. In the spirit of founder William
Joseph Chaminade, we work to form all students in their faith. We
facilitate an integral quality education of the whole person in the
community. We inculcate a missionary attitude, an enthusiasm for
justice and peace, and a family spirit that mirrors in our day the
Holy Family of Nazareth.
Central Catholic has been from its inception a college preparatory liberal arts school. We aim to partner with parents to form the "whole person." The scientific and technical education available at Central Catholic is first-rate, with a full range of math through AP Calculus and science offerings including our widely acclaimed Physics I class for freshmen, biology, anatomy and ecology, pre-AP and AP Chemistry, and several computer courses, including joint-enrollment college-level courses at St. Mary's University. Central Catholic’s long liberal arts tradition continues, featuring Latin, Spanish and a full range of English courses including AP offerings, journalism, social studies through economics, four years of religion, leadership principles, Christian leadership and a variety of fine arts, including drama, band, chorus, creative writing, graphics and ceramics. |
