Curriculum
Courses of Study
At Tampa Catholic we strive to create an engaging and challenging curriculum for all our students.
Each student’s schedule is tailored to the individual’s talents. TC offers four levels of academics: Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment, Honors and College Prep. Students are not locked into any track and may move up to College Prep or Honors depending on performance. In addition, a student may be scheduled in Honors in one subject, but placed in College Prep in another.
