Marianapolis Preparatory School

Centers of Excellence: Subsequent to completing the Ninth Grade Experience, sophomores have the option to enroll in one of four academic centers: Business & Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Social Justice, or Health Science. The Centers of Excellence were created to facilitate hands-on, practical experience in a concentrated area of study, while retaining global engagement with the traditional curricular path. Students in each of the Centers access a uniquely curated curriculum, engage in a three-week supervised internship, and complete a senior capstone project, among other core requirements. Students who successfully complete the program in addition to the standard graduation requirements receive a specialized diploma at graduation. Intentionally International Community: Marianapolis is a truly global institution, offering community members a global perspective, whether their home is Thompson, Connecticut, or somewhere on the other side of the world. With students from more than two dozen countries, a campus in Bien Hoa, Vietnam, and the opportunity for students to earn a Joint Diploma or an International Diploma through the Online Learning Program, Golden Knights are also global citizens. Through the rigorous and diverse courses, the residential life program, LEAP activities, and grade-level and community programming, students examine local and global issues with the new perspectives of their peers. Students are able to learn more about the world around them through Global Leadership Outreach, student-led cultural activities, and living and learning in a global community.
