Excellence in Education

Benedictine provides young men with an education that will prepare them for college and beyond. By offering only a college preparatory curriculum, Benedictine challenges students to enroll in more difficult courses. This year 99% of the graduating Class of 1995 is attending college.

Students at Benedictine benefit from the low student teacher ratio of 12:1. The average class size of 17 is also low. This creates excellent opportunities for classroom discussion and interaction between the teachers and students.

In addition to the regular courses, Benedictine offers Honors and Advanced Placement classes to those who excel in the following fields:
