The Aquinas Honors Program is available to students seeking an advanced academic challenge and includes the upper division honors classes in Fine Arts, English, World Languages, Math, Social Studies and Science. Its purpose is to provide coordination and support of the honors curriculum at Kennedy Catholic High School. Each year, 40% of Kennedy Catholic juniors and seniors take at least two college-credit courses on campus.
COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES Kennedy Catholic offers college credit courses through three sources: College in the High School (University of Washington), the Matteo Ricci Program (University of Seattle), and Advanced Placement (College Board). COLLEGE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL (UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON) Through the College in the High School Program, Kennedy Catholic partners with the University of Washington (UW) to offer coursework for college credit on Kennedy Catholic’s campus. Students may acquire college credits through the University of Washington if they satisfactorily complete the course and pay the reduced tuition cost offered by UW. These official UW courses use UW curriculum and grading standards to match the courses taught at the UW. These courses require instructor approval.
COLLEGE BOARD (ADVANCED PLACEMENT) The Advanced Placement (AP) Program through College Board offers college-level courses and exams that you can take while enrolled at Kennedy Catholic High School. Your AP exam score can earn you college credit and bypass introductory courses at most colleges nationwide. An AP exam is available for Latin Vergil.
