Our pursuit of academic excellence is also rooted in our commitment to small class sizes, individualized scheduling, digital learning and most importantly, engaging classroom instruction. Our dedicated and talented faculty immerse students in their daily classroom instruction by utilizing iPad technology as well as traditional instructional methods. With an offering of 3 Dual-Credit courses, 17 Advanced Placement courses and 30 Honors Level courses, Bronco students are set up for success.

Increasing student experience in STEM fields is a very important part of the well-rounded academic experience at Montini Catholic. Our STEM initiative creates innovative, creative and flexible self-starters who are prepared for college. The program incorporates our extensive Mathematics, Science and Technology course offerings.
A unique feature at Montini Catholic is that we do not place students into tracks. Our curriculum allows students to take courses within four levels: Signum Fidei, College Prep, Honors and Advanced Placement. These levels are determined by Placement Exam results, Proficiency Exam results and Grade School and High School teacher recommendations. Students are not placed into one single track, but rather they are placed into classes that engage and aid in learning at their level. All classes are engaging, and designed to help students learn at their unique level while preparing them for the demands of college.
