Immaculata High School’s invitation-only Marian Scholars program, named in honor of Mary, the school’s patroness, is dedicated to developing these students' high level research and presentation skills on key local and global topics. The program’s goal is to foster an adventure of learning for a lifetime through the passionate pursuit of knowledge.
In addition to following a highly advanced honors and AP curriculum, the scholars work with faculty mentors, as well as Marian Scholars program coordinators, on specialized research projects and presentations and receive co-curricular enrichment through excursions, seminars, and speakers. Started in 2014 with a core of nine students, the program now includes over 50 students. The Senior-Freshman mentoring initiative, piloted last year, allows seniors to gain leadership and coaching skills, while the freshmen benefit from their peers’ experience.
