Academics

College Preparatory, On His Level

In keeping with St. John Baptist de La Salle’s mission, Christian Brothers High School offers a comprehensive academic program to a widely diverse group of learners. Our socioeconomic and intellectual diversity are a real asset for our boys as they prepare for adult life - the world does not reside in the 90th percentile. With the understanding that our students have enrolled from105 different schools, thus begin from widely diverse bases of knowledge, our focus is to afford each student the opportunity to reach his fullest potential by ensuring that he is intellectually challenged, yet not overwhelmed or under-challenged.
 

We utilize Aleks® and Achieve 3000® software in order to individualize the reinforcement of math skills and reading comprehension. Struggling students attend three extra-help sessions per week with tutoring from seniors in the National Honor Society, students in the Peer Tutoring Program, and faculty members.

De La Salle Scholars

The honors program at CBHS gathers a community of the most gifted and dedicated students to hold each other to the highest standards of academic achievement and leadership. The De La Salle Scholars are a group of boys bound together with common goals of serving the community and supporting one another in achieving extraordinary academic accomplishments. Members of this program will have the opportunity to take a wide range of AP and collegiate dual-enrollment classes throughout their four years.

The top 10% of the Class of 2018 attained an average ACT score of 32.4. The Class of 2018 also included four National Merit Finalists and six Commended Students. During the 2017-2018 school year, 31 students reached "AP scholar" status by scoring a 3 or higher in 3 or more AP exams, thereby earning college credit.
