Cathedral High School recognizes the nationwide movement toward collegiate programs that allow high school students of outstanding academic achievement and/or inclination the opportunity to earn collegiate credit towards an undergraduate degree prior to graduation from secondary schools. In an effort to embrace that national movement, the Center for Advanced Studies was created.

 

The Center for Advanced Studies serves as the coordinating point for all higher education opportunities available to its students and parents. In addition to providing college-level assessments for enrollment, the Center, in conjunction with the El Paso Community College, enables eligible students the opportunity to take affordable, high quality, college core courses prior to graduation from high school. The program also allows for enrichment and extension of the Cathedral High School curriculum and avoidance of unnecessary duplication in course work as students move from high school to college.
