Academics : Course Catalog

Students and parents are urged to read the material carefully in order to make intelligent, informed decisions.

A student may choose any course listed provided he/she meets the requirements. Should a student choose a course for which he/she is not qualified or for which an insufficient number has enrolled, the school reserves the right to make adjustments in the roster. Every effort will be made to discuss such adjustments. However, the final decision on rostering will be made by the school administrators. Elective courses which students choose and to which they are assigned may not be dropped.

The curriculum offered at West Catholic is one that attempts to meet the needs of the student as perceived by the school and by the student. Courses are required because they are seen as being important for the well-educated Christian in today's society. Other courses are offered to help the individual plan for specific interests in the future. It is hoped that each student will be able to design a program that is both challenging to their abilities and satisfying to their interests.
