High School 9-12
At Cardinal Stritch, we encourage our students to ignite their curiosity and spark a lifelong learning. Our coursework is intellectually challenging with a dynamic curriculum that drives discovery and creativity while promoting questioning and dialogue. We challenge our students to take intellectual risks in a supportive community of educators.
Our program of studies includes courses that develop confident, capable, compassionate leaders who advocate for themselves and others. In addition to required courses, students pursue their interests through electives and challenge themselves in advanced college-level classes through Advanced Placement, College Credit Plus Courses or as an Early College Pathways Student!

CCP
Students who wish to participate in College Credit Plus (CCP) early college option must attend a mandatory student & parent meeting in January where information about the application and eligibility process will be provided.
Students and parents are responsible for creating an account through the Ohio Department of Education to request and complete a CCP funding application by April 1, 2026. Additionally, students are subject to admission guidelines established by each participating college or university. Failure to meet deadlines will disqualify any student from participating in the CCP program.
*CCP is a state-wide program that offers qualified Ohio students the opportunity to simultaneously earn high school and college credit for college-level courses. Through the CCP program, students may enroll in Introduction to Engineering, Introduction to Business, Introduction to Health Careers, or may take other online or on-campus course offerings.
The grades the students earn will be part of their college transcript. A low grade could adversely affect the student’s academic standing and / or acceptance into a college after high school graduation. In addition, if a student fails the class or drops the class after the withdrawal period has ended, the student (parents) will be responsible for payment of full tuition for the class.
Some students are ready, academically, to take college level classes, but are not self-disciplined enough to handle the other demands associated with the coursework.
Because there can be significant academic and financial consequences for poor performance, please carefully consider whether your son is ready to take on this challenge. These classes are funded by the state, for students who meet the requirements and who live in Ohio. Funding is not guaranteed, and may be limited, for those who apply.
