West Catholic Prep will prepare you for life after high school. We have always been well-known in the community for providing our students with rigorous academics and building the discipline they need to achieve at higher levels. Our innovative block schedule provides an experience that is more realistic to post high school life. Increased class time provides both students and teachers the time needed to explore course materials, rather than swiftly moving from class to class throughout the day. It also allows for more electives that offer you an opportunity to focus on the subjects that most interest you.
