High School Curriculum
Archbishop Walsh Academy provides an academically rigorous program that highlights a classical liberal arts education. Freshmen and sophomores are instructed at a high level in order to prepare them for the demanding IB Diploma Programme offered to juniors and seniors. While all juniors and seniors will take IB courses, not all students will graduate with an IB Diploma.
