High School

Bishop Reicher's high school academic program is a rigorous college preparatory curriculum with additional elective courses and opportunities to support individual growth and development.  Our students are constantly challenged to be critical thinkers and discover their passions.  Students complete their education at Bishop Reicher with a solid foundation for building their future academic endeavors.  

Homework is a part of Bishop Reicher's curriculum and enriches the educational experience. It is an essential and usually graded ingredient in a student's education. Homework can take many different forms, including, but not limited to, written work, exercises, review of notes, study time, reading material from books, or other materials or projects.

Students should complete homework on their own. Students who spend excessive amounts of time in one subject area need to see the teacher or have their parents set up a teacher conference.

The Advanced Placement program at Reicher offers college-level curriculum and testing to high school students through the College Board.

The College Board has approved all Advanced Placement courses through the Advanced Placement audit. Curriculum and exams are created by a panel of experts through the College Board and are graded by experts in each subject. 

In Advanced Placement courses, students become acquainted with college-level skills. Studies have shown that even if a student does not earn credit from the Advanced Placement exam, those who take Advanced Placement classes are more successful in college. At Bishop Reicher, we ensure students are prepared for college success, and the availability of Advanced Placement courses is an important component in helping students understand college expectations.
