Our Academic Program

Saint Gertrude’s academic program provides our students with a challenging curriculum that includes a range of Advanced Placement and honors-level courses. Our smaller classes allow for a variety of instructional strategies for students to hone their skills and build their confidence to answer the challenges of their changing world. 

Our commitment to our Catholic faith imbues our entire school culture, whether in the classroom, on the field, on stage, or in the hallways. And, our curriculum supports that commitment as it is designed to develop a uniquely feminine spirituality based on openness to life and a deep confidence in God's loving care.

We invite you to explore our curriculum below to see if a Saint Gertrude education is right for you.
