Archangel Program

This Archangel Program provides an opportunity for students who have encountered academic difficulties during elementary and middle school. The Archangel Program offers small class sizes. Students in the Archangel Program will have a class built into their schedule freshman year dedicated to academic support. They will spend the first two years at Catholic High with the same class members learning note taking, study skills, and time management to better prepare them for Junior and Senior year, and College. 

Program Overview

Through small class sizes, frequent student-teacher interaction, close cooperation between home and school, and the student's commitment to success, the Archangel student will proceed through a college preparatory program. Archangel students are integrated into other class levels based upon academic achievement in their junior year.

Teachers enhance the learning experiences and make lessons more interactive. Students utilize the most state-of-the-art technology including Chromebooks with various educational applications.

Requirements for Acceptance

Students who apply for the Archangel Program are accepted on a case by case basis depending on the students academic performance in middle school, including, test scores, grades, accommodations, and skill level. Students do not need a specific IEP, 504 plan, or a Psychological Evaluation to be considered for the program. The admissions committee takes documentation into consideration when reviewing, but it is not required. Students accepted into the program are required to attend a 4-day summer orientation that  includes 1.5 hours a day for Pre-Algebra and 1.5 hours a day for Reading/English/Study Skills. 

The Archangel Program has a $1,500 fee that is added in with the families total tuition balance once they are accepted. After the students sophomore year the $1,500 fee is dropped.
