College Preparatory and Advanced Placement Curriculum

Preparing Young Women for College, Careers, and Life

At Bishop Conaty Our Lady of Loretto High School, every student follows a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum designed to challenge, inspire, and prepare her for success beyond high school.

Our courses meet, and in many areas exceed, the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) A-G admission requirements while encouraging students to explore their passions through honors, Advanced Placement (AP), and academy-based learning opportunities.
