Xavier Academy offers an abundance of courses necessary to matriculate to higher levels of education. Our faculty ensures our coursework is comparable to (and at times, more advanced) the top academic institutions across the city and state. In addition to our core curriculum, we take great pride in offering extra-curricular courses that not only excite our students and pertain to their unique interests, but also prepare them for life outside of the classroom.
TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY
While our unique approach to individualized learning differs from public education, Xavier Academy holds the same standards aligned with The Texas Education Agency (TEA), which oversees all primary and secondary public schools.
ADVANCE PLACEMENT (AP) FOR ALL
We believe all students deserve the chance to challenge themselves academically. We do not segment students into Honors or AP classes based on their academic history. All teachers are trained in AP-style courses, and it is their responsibility to personalize the experience for each student based on their learning styles.
We understand that some students may perform higher than others, but our mission is to cultivate each student’s best learning potential and set them up for success. If students believe they can take on advanced work, we encourage them to. If students believe in scaling back at a slower learning pace, we will meet them where they are.
DUAL CREDIT
We understand that some students may perform higher than others, but our mission is to cultivate each student’s best learning potential and set them up for success. If students believe they can take on advanced work, we encourage them to. If students believe in scaling back at a slower learning pace, we will meet them where they are.
At Xavier, we highly encourage high school students to utilize our Dual Credit program to get ahead before starting college. Through our partnership withHouston Community College (HCC), Lone Star Community College (LSC), and St. Thomas University, we offer an array of courses eligible students can enroll in and receive credit for college. We are proud to offer these courses at no cost; the only expense is the required textbook.
