The College Prep De La Salle Program offers a comprehensive course offering that paves the way for admission into universities and colleges across the country. Students can expect to learn from a curriculum focused on meeting competitive college admission requirements. The program includes electives designed to address special interests and courses tailor-made for success.
Students (as freshmen) are placed into the De La Salle level courses based on their incoming Placement Test scores and the academic report from the grammar school. However, a student may begin in the Phoenix College Prep level courses or in the Honors Academy Scholars level courses and then be moved into the De La Salle College Prep level courses in one or more subjects when it is determined that his academic needs will be best met in a different academic climate.

The Program for Advanced College Credit (PACC) is sponsored by Saint Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota.

The learning environment is college level and fast-paced. Saint Patrick High School currently offers twelve PACC courses for a total of 38 potential college credit hours.
