Academic Programs

[Girls in library] Mother Cabrini High School (MCHS) offers specialized and distinctive programs of study to enhance the education of our students. Our academic programs are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as part of the criteria for winning MCHS’ second Blue Ribbon School of Excellence award.

Cabrini Scholars’ Program

The Cabrini Scholars’ Program is an enriched curriculum with roots in the Cabrini tradition. It is designed to challenge gifted young women to stretch their abilities and achieve their goals to ensure placement at the most selective colleges and universities. Cabrini Scholars take all honors, regents level, advanced placement, and college level courses throughout their four years of high school. Scholars can earn up to 18 college credits while at Cabrini. Guidance counselors work closely with each student to place them in special introductory programs for their career choice.

Cabrini Academic Preparatory Program (CAP)

The CAP Program is designed to help students who come to MCHS below grade level to achieve academically and obtain a college preparatory education. The program provides specialized instruction to meet individual student's needs, as well as opportunity for tutoring sessions. Students enjoy small classes with special attention to reading and math remediation. The program also provides various enrichment activities such as field trips. The National Catholic Educational Association has honored the CAP Program with the “Elizabeth Ann Seton Award.”

Computer Center

There are two computer labs. The computer labs are equipped with Dell Pentium Computers. Students have access to on-line services via the Internet for research and classroom use. Our library also allows the students to access the Internet. Computers are also available in all classrooms.

Study Skills

The transition to high school can be difficult. A smooth transition is the key to high school success. We have developed an interdisciplinary study skills program to help all freshmen in acquiring the necessary skills to ensure a successful four years.

After School Program

This is a unique program offered at no cost to our students. Students meet 2-4 days a week from 2:45pm until 4:30pm and receive assistance with homework, studying and projects. A team of teachers and peer tutors conduct the After School Program. The library is staffed by a teacher and peer tutors.

Peer Tutors/Peer Counselors

An integral part of a Cabrini education is to develop women leaders. One way to develop leadership skills in our students is to train them to help their peers with academic and social skills. Peer tutors assist students in specified subject areas. Peer Counselors are assigned to freshmen students to assist them in the transition to high school.
