学校简介

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The curriculum at Villa Maria is a demanding one. The student is expected to pursue a course of study that will continually reinforce analytic problem solving skills and comprehension development. Thus every course is taught at a college preparatory level challenging the student to work with increasing independence. Honors courses are taught at an accelerated pace to challenge the academically competent student who is able to pursue in-depth study and who is willing to spend extra time outside of class working independently. For those students ready - and able - to do college level work advanced placement courses are provided. In order to fully benefit from these AP courses the student is required to take responsibility for extensive reading and writing assignments as independent study.

     我们的课程安排非常具有挑战性，学生思想和解决问题的能力能得到充分锻炼和发挥。因此，每一项课程都是以大学预科的水平来要求学生的，从而更强的独立学习能力不可或缺。我们设有荣誉课程，要求学生追求深度学习以及课后的独立思考和复习。对于有能力的学生，我们提供大学水平的AP课程。为了充分受益于这些课程，学生需要独立完成一些延伸阅读和额外写作
