HONORS & COLLEGE CREDIT

Here at St. Mary's SSC, we offer a variety of college credit and honors courses at every grade level.

Based on standard scores and previous report cards, freshmen may be placed in honors courses in math, science, English, and social studies. Students who have taken a high school algebra course in elementary school are allowed to test into geometry as a freshman. Students must maintain a 3.0 G.P.A. for this program.

The 1818 College Credit Program introduces college-level expectations by challenging high school students to attempt a rigorous academic curriculum. Course offerings through 1818 Advanced College Credit (ACC) are offered primarily through the College of Arts and Sciences. All courses offered through 1818 ACC are also taught on campus at Saint Louis University and compared in course content, course prerequisites, and student expectations to the equivalent on-campus course.

Unlike many high schools in the area, we make our 1818 courses available to every student who qualifies, even if adding an extra session or class. We also offer college credit courses through University of Missouri - St. Louis, St. Louis Community College. and Ranken Technical College, making the total hours of credit offered at 73. Juniors and seniors who maintain a 3.0 GPA and receive an endorsement from the principal are eligible to participate.
