Perspectives: Advancing the Curriculum

The Fall 2019 edition of Jesuit High School's magazine, Perspectives, has arrived! Click here to read the electronic edition, and hard copies are being mailed to Jesuit families, alumni, and supporters and will hit mailboxes next week.

The main feature takes an in-depth look at the school's curriculum development in recent years. Jesuit has bolstered, enhanced, and upgraded its curriculum with opportunities such as Dual Enrollment classes in conjunction with Saint Louis University; vast Advanced Placement options; an array of electives geared toward optimizing the current student experience; implementation of technology in teaching, classrooms, and courses of study; increased class choices within each department; plus summer acceleration courses, virtual courses, and more.
