Elementary students are instructed in the Catholic religion, English Language Arts, mathematics, science and social studies as core subject areas of study. If an elementary student earns failing grades in two or more core subject areas for their final averages, including religious studies, he/she may remain in the same grade the following school year. Promotion is based on a final average of the 4 nine-week grading periods, not semesters. A School Review Committee will meet and decide on the proper course of action and grade placement for the following year. Recommendations for summer study and remediation may be made for the students earning a failing grade or showing deficiencies in any core subject. If a 4^th – 8^th grade student fails a religion course, the student will be required to repeat and earn a passing grade in that specific religion course over the summer before being promoted to the next grade level.

High school students are instructed each year in Religion Studies, Mathematics, English, Science and Social Studies as core subject areas of study following the TOPS University Diploma which includes electives but is not limited to health and physical education, art, French and Spanish. If a student earns a failing grade for one or more of these subjects, the student will be required to repeat and earn a passing grade in the course(s) the following school year or enroll in summer school (if offered) in the course(s) failed. Students are only allowed to enroll in a maximum of 2 courses for summer school. Parents/Guardians have 1 week after final grades have been posted to register for summer school. It is the responsibility of the student’s parent/guardian to contact the Guidance Counselor to submit a summer school application to enroll in their summer school online programs.
