Academics
We must keep ourselves in the presence of God, as much as possible.
- St. Charles Bromeo
At Bishop McLaughlin, our definition of academic excellence encompasses more than grades. St. Charles Borromeo taught us that “We must keep ourselves in the presence of God, as much as possible.” We at Bishop believe that we must educate our students, but more than that, we must provide them with Catholic understanding and character to put their knowledge to good use for themselves, our Church and the world.
At Bishop, we strive to create an appealing and stimulating curriculum for all of students. Each student’s schedule is tailored to the individual’s talents. Bishop McLaughlin offers five levels of academics: Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment, Honors, College Prep and ACCESS. Students are not locked into any track and may move up or down depending on their performance. In addition, a student may be scheduled in Honors in one subject, but placed in College Prep 2 in another.
Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). We also hold membership in the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) and the Florida High School Activities Association (FHSAA).
