Academics 

Immaculata-La Salle High school provides our students the opportunity to earn a College Board AP Capstone™ Diploma.  The AP Capstone™ is a diploma program based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. These courses are designed to complement other AP courses that the AP Capstone student may take.  Instead of teaching specific subject knowledge, AP Seminar and AP Research use an interdisci­plinary approach to develop the critical thinking, research, collaboration, time management, and presentation skills students need for college-level work.
