Bishop England High School is a Roman Catholic coeducational
secondary school operated under the auspices of the
Diocese of Charleston, South Carolina. As an institution of the
Catholic Church, it is the mission of Bishop England High School
to foster a faith community characterized by the Gospel message
of mutual respect and charity. The school endeavors to promote
the spiritual, intellectual, and physical growth of the individual
through the combined efforts of parents and faculty by establishing
the best possible environment for learning, a climate of trust, respect
of the individual, and an appreciation for the acquisition of
learning.
Founded in 1915, Bishop England is accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools. Our well qualified faculty,
over half of whom possess advanced degrees, is committed to
providing the best possible academic environment for our students.
The program of studies at Bishop England High School is
consistent with the philosophy of meeting the needs of all students.
However, since 98% of Bishop England graduates pursue a college
education immediately following graduation, the primary accent
is on college preparatory courses.
Academic ability grouping is used at Bishop England and a
solid curriculum is offered at each of the following levels:
Honors Program: This program is designed to challenge gifted
students to pursue their studies in greater depth and at an
accelerated pace. Intense independent study, research, analysis, and
critical thinking characterize courses at this level. Students selected
for the honors program must demonstrate maturity, the capacity
for independent learning, and a commitment to remain at this
level. Ten upper level honors courses have been designated as
Advanced Placement Courses. Upon completion of these courses,
students participate in the Advanced Placement examinations for
college credit.
College Preparatory (Level AI): The majority of Bishop England
students are placed at this level. Some independent study and a
fast learning pace characterize this level. Students selected for this
program are expected to accept a rigorous college preparatory
course of study.
College Preparatory (Level AII): This program is designed for
students who require a more guided approach to their studies.
Students selected for this program are expected to accept a college
preparatory course of study.
Tuition: Per child for the 2006-2007 school year: Parishioner rate is $5570.00 per year or $557.00 per month for ten months. Non-Parishioner rate is $8090.00 per year or $809.00 per month for ten months.
In the summer of 1998, Bishop England relocated its campus
to a state-of-the-art facility on Daniel Island. This property is easily
accessible from the Mark Clark Expressway (Hwy 526).
Admission to Bishop England is non-discriminatory and is open
to students from all religious backgrounds.
