Each BSM student receives a solid core curriculum, and has the opportunity to choose elective courses from a variety of subjects to suit their interests.

As a faith-based institution, BSM is rooted in a strong tradition of academic excellence, nurturing and inspiring students to achieve their best and share God's blessings with others.

The BSM curriculum includes numerous honors courses and 23 Advanced Placement courses providing students with extra opportunities to prepare for life after high school. Students can also take college courses while at BSM. In all levels of classes at BSM, students are taught how to apply the knowledge they've received. As a result, BSM students consistently score above average on ACT and SAT tests, and AP exams.

Guidance and College Counseling

Each Red Knight has a BSM counselor as a partner on their journey through junior and senior high school, providing assistance as needed.

Service Learning

An BSM education is holistic, providing students with opportunities to grow through service and compassion towards others.

The BSM experience provides interactive learning opportunities every day, relying on specific online resources as needed, enhancing the in-person teaching and learning setting. BSM is committed to preparing students to thrive in a dynamic and ever-changing world.

Support programs are available for each student, depending on their needs - whether academic or social - ensuring a holistic approach to education at BSM.  Learning at BSM naturally extends beyond the bounds of its campus, providing students with:

  • Opportunities to grow beyond the local community,

  • Moments to give of self through charitable and service programs.

When each student's academic career at Benilde-St. Margaret's concludes, they will possess the knowledge and skills to always be driven to learn, active in community, inspired by faith, and prepared for life.
