Differentiated Learning
To promote excellence in the classroom, and fully utilize the strengths of our teaching faculty, course instruction is offered on different levels to make sure that students are sufficiently challenged. Placement at a particular level is based on each student’s 资质 and performance in the various disciplines. In other words, a student may be placed at the highest level of instruction in all courses or at a higher level in some courses but not others. Placement is determined carefully and takes into consideration the 资质 of not only each student in the school but each student's varying strengths. While the courses in the curriculum are parallel, in that each level of a course has similar goals and objectives, the level of instruction varies by methodology, degree of difficulty, and volume of information presented.

Honors and AP Courses
Honors and AP courses are designed to meet the needs of students who want a more rigorous, 先进的, college preparatory curriculum and have a heightened interest in learning and a high level of responsibility, 资质, and achievement. These classes explore principles and concepts in greater depth, and more independent work is expected of the student. St. 迈克尔’s requires a minimum grade of 90 in an academic level prerequisite course.
