Christian Brothers College High School, based on the teachings of its founder St. John Baptist de La Salle, is a diverse community of learners.  In a college preparatory setting, all students are met at their own individual academic level where they, with the help of the CBC faculty/staff, strive to realize the maximum potential of their God-given talents and abilities.  The CBC graduate will be a college-bound student who has realized his calling as a young man of character and a young man of faith. 

CBC students are tracked in the core academic subjects (English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies). Each of these academic areas offers a wide range of courses from honors level for those students who excel academically, to the developmental level for students who need additional academic support. Because each individual student has strengths and weaknesses, he may be placed in different tracks for different subjects. This flexibility in scheduling allows a CBC student to be placed at a level that challenges him academically while providing the support he may need to succeed.

Academically talented students at CBC have the opportunity to earn college credit by taking Advanced Placement courses or courses offered through St. Louis University and the University of Missouri. Grades in these courses are weighted.
