“When I started at Marist, I was in the Marcellin program. With the support of my incredible teachers, I gained confidence in my abilities, grew as a person, and over my four years at Marist, I was able to challenge myself and took classes in different tracks. By my senior year, I was taking AP classes and graduated with a Chick Evans Scholarship.”

Marcellin
The Marcellin Program aims to support each student as they learn, grow, and achieve academic success and college readiness, similarly to their peers. Admission to the program is based on the entrance exam and junior high performance. Inspired by the founder of the Marist Brothers—St. Marcellin Champagnat—who struggled academically himself, the program provides for the diversity in learning styles and the necessary strategies to help each student reach his or her full potential.

Academic
Courses in the Academic track are structured and focus on basic skills. The teachers help facilitate the learning such that students become more self-motivated about their learning. The goal is to develop independent thinkers who take initiative, think critically, respond creatively and apply what is learned to the world around them. Academic classes expect students to be active participants in the learning process such that students seek assistance with learning and assignments.

Honors
A wide range of honors courses are provided for students with high academic achievement. These courses are challenging and provide more information at a faster pace than general courses.
Courses in the Honors track have structure, but most students in these courses are proactive about their learning. Honors courses require students to take initiative, think critically, problem solve, and apply learned concepts. The focus is on application, analysis, and synthesis rather than basic skills.

AP
Marist offers a variety of AP courses for students to take for which they may receive college credit. Students in these course are provided college level study on specific topics. An exam at the end of the year tests their knowledge and awards them credit toward the university they choose to attend.
AP courses are structured to align with the College Board curriculum focusing on depth of content. Students in these courses are independent learners, self-motivated, and able to complete assignments with minimal guidance. Foundational skills are expected as these courses focus on mastery of advanced concepts and analysis relevant to the topics. Students who enroll in these courses are required to sit for the AP exam in May.
