Marist oers students four academic tracks through which courses can be taken. Students are guided by conversations with their counselors and teachers when considering track placement for the future. During registration, students have the opportunity to customize their course load, to ensure they are both supported and challenged at every level.“ When I started at Marist, I was in the Marcellin program. With the support of my incredible teachers, I gained condence in my abilities, grew as a person, and over my four years at Marist, I was able to challenge myself and took classes in dierent tracks. By my senior year, I was taking AP classes and graduated with a Chick Evans Scholarship.” –Ismael F. ’23 ACADEMIC SUCCESS4WE BELIEVE ALL STUDENTS CAN LEARN.

Strategies are employed to facilitate the learning process, and direct literacy instruction is part of the curriculum. ACADEMIC Courses in the Academic track are structured and focus on basic skills. The teachers help facilitate the learning such that students become more self-motivated about their learning. The goal is to develop independent thinkers who take initiative, think critically, respond creatively, and apply what is learned to the world around them. Academic classes expect students to be active participants in the learning process such that students seek assistance with learning and assignments.HONORS Courses in the Honors track have structure, but most students in these courses are proactive about their learning. Honors courses require students to take initiative, think critically, problem solve, and apply learned concepts. The focus is on application, analysis, and synthesis rather than basic skills. ADVANCED PLACEMENT Courses in the AP track are structured to align with the College Board curriculum focusing on depth of content. Students in these courses are independent learners, self-motivated, and able to complete assignments with minimal guidance. Foundational skills are expected as these courses focus on mastery of advanced concepts and analysis relevant to the topics. Students who enroll in these courses are required to sit for the AP exam in May.
