Bishop Connolly’s curriculum focuses on preparing students for college education and life-long learning. By challenging students’ hearts, minds and spirits, Connolly prepares leaders for today and tomorrow who have a commitment to intellectual integrity, compassionate Christian service, and social justice.

While it is important in providing a quality education to have highly qualified instructors, a rigorous curriculum, and clear methods to determine that learning by students has taken place, it is equally important that each student develops moral values, a commitment to his or her community, and an informed sense of direction in his or her life.

A Connolly education prepares students for life, encouraging them to think for themselves, and to make their own decisions in their personal, religious, social, and business lives. We are also training men and women for others; people who will use all of their talents and energies for others.

We prepare our students for academically challenging futures. Extensive honors and advanced placement offerings encourage students to develop special talents, deepen their knowledge, and prepare for selective schools.

Students develop a solid academic foundation in English, math, science, social studies, world languages, computers, physical education/health and the fine arts. They also create, explore, research, and investigate in innovative ways that reach across subject boundaries.

Average class size is 22 to 25 students. Honors sections average 15 to 18 students, while advanced placement courses tend to number 8 students or less.
