Four Levels of Learning

Father Ryan's curriculum is based in Catholic tradition by providing a unique course structure that serves a wide range of academic ability. By offering four course levels within each academic department, students customize their schedule to be placed in courses with appropriate rigor and pace based on their aptitude, performance, and faculty recommendations.

This structure provides students the opportunity to create an academic schedule that allows them to experience success and challenges while enjoying a memorable high school experience.

 Although I took numerous High Honors and AP classes during my years at Father Ryan, I would say that I was never challenged most by my coursework but by the efforts of my teachers and peers to always help me achieve not just my own self-imposed goals but greater and more ambitious ones. Father Ryan has a culture of success, and it has always challenged me to be the best person I can be.
