Immaculate High School has partnered with several online providers: Virtual High School, EdOptions Academy, Educere, and Rosetta Stone to expand our program of studies.   The coursework is rigorous and is best suited for the self-motivated student who is an organized and independent learner.  Students have a period built into their schedule of classes each day to attend their virtual class.  The courses are credited and are indicated on our transcript with the letter

Immaculate High School introduced the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Engineering Program in 2017 and currently offers two engineering classes:  Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) and Principles of Engineering (POE).  Students in the Introduction to Engineering Design class dig deep into the engineering design process and work individually and in teams to design solutions using 3-D modeling software and an engineering notebook.  Principles of Engineering students explore mechanisms, the strength of structures and materials, and automation. Students in the engineering program develop skills in problem solving, research, and design while learning strategies for design process documentation, collaboration, and presentation. 

Immaculate High School initiated our International Student Program in the 2007-2008 school year with our first student from South Korea. The Program has grown tremendously since that time, resulting in 39 students for the 2020-2021 school year. The Program is part of our overall Immaculate Global Strategy to establish a collaborative, energetic learning environment in which students engage with one another in classrooms locally, nationally and internationally. Students fully participate, meet all academic expectations, engage in athletic and extracurricular activities and are prepared to pursue a college education in the U.S.  Students are required to meet all of our course requirements without any modifications in curriculum, expectations or grading which includes taking a Catholic Theology class each year they are at the school. English classes count toward meeting our two-year World Language requirement. When preparing transcripts for our international students, we utilized grade scales from their previous school in their home country if a grade scale is provided on their transcripts. If not, we utilize grade scales from World Education Services for the translation of grades from other countries into their US equivalent. 

To further support the college and career interests of students, the school offers a program to seniors to pursue an internship program in a field of study that complements their skills. Requirements include a reporting system, sponsor engagement with the school as well as a Capstone presentation to an academic panel.
