Structure of the Class

For sophomores, the class will meet weekly, on a PRT, in the first semester. Class periods will be designed to assist students to discover their strengths, potential career focus and welcome speakers to campus to address areas of interest. Second semester, Ignatian Scholars will continue to meet with the Ignatian Scholars Coordinator if they desire, and to partake in Sophomore Seminar with their College Counselor. 

In the junior and senior years, students will enroll in the AP Capstone program, taking AP Seminar as a junior and AP Research as a senior.  The completion of these two courses is required to stay in the Ignatian Scholars program.
