Curriculum
Whether you excel in a specific field or you want to push yourself at every step, our curriculum choices ensure you will always find an academic challenge with room to grow. Our students take pride in their academic success and are driven by a rigorous curriculum. The academic program at Seton LaSalle is designed to help the students develop as Christian men and women intellectually and spiritually, and to provide motivation and preparation for a lifetime of study and work.
Two curricular options, one great education.
Since 1957, our well-established college preparatory academic program has served our students well and has produced graduates who are continuously successful at colleges and universities across the country. This traditional curriculum allows for more flexibility with electives, STEM classes, and additional math and science course opportunities.
Our classical curriculum focuses on the humanities with courses in theology, philosophy, art, music, history, and literature. Students receive a well-rounded education in all subject areas including math, science, and technology. Classes are taught in a seminar style with an emphasis on group discussion, as well as analytical reading and writing.
