Academic Programs
It’s no secret that the academics at Cardinal Mooney make it a leader in performance and achievement among area schools. Our large selection of Honors classes, our AP scholars and National Merit students are a testament to that reputation.
At Cardinal Mooney High School, every student is treated as an individual and is placed in a program best suited to his or her needs. When registering incoming freshmen, we use the Scholastic High School Placement Test along with grade school records, parent input and teacher recommendations. Our personalized registration and class selection allow the student and parents to select course levels appropriate to the student’s ability in each subject area.
Students who attend Cardinal Mooney for four complete years will graduate having earned 31½ units of academic credit. Our Hybrid Block Schedule encourages students to explore a broad range of subjects. Teachers employ diverse instructional strategies that emphasize problem- solving, critical thinking and group interaction skills. Programs are available for the gifted student as well as for students with special needs.
A wide variety of courses offered includes Honors courses in English, Mathematics, Science, and 15 full-credit Advanced Placement Courses.
