Page title: Student Requirements

Education at St. Francis Xavier

The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for further study. Core elements of the curriculum include the courses required by the State of South Carolina for admission to public colleges or universities. St. Francis Xavier High School is accredited by the SACS (Southern Association of colleges and Schools).

Students seeking admission to St. Francis Xavier High School should have passed all courses in their previous school year. Since the college-preparatory course work is rigorous, parents need to be aware of the demands that will be placed on their student. Interested students and their parents should bring copies of transcripts and/or current report cards to the interview.
