The Fenwick High School academic curriculum is designed to build upon and prepare the whole student beginning with classroom instruction.

Five academic credit courses must be taken each year; six or seven courses is considered a standard minimum course load. Eight courses is typically the most a student can take in an academic term. Students in the Classes of 2027, 2028, and 2029 need 23 credits for graduation. Students in the Class of 2030 will need 23.5 credits for graduation. Please explore Fenwick's Curriculum Guide, linked below, to learn more about Fenwick's core and elective course offerings and academic requirements.

Fenwick offers an honors program for students of exceptional ability. Individual departments set criteria in honors level classes. It is important that a student chooses a course not for its weighted grade, but rather because of sincere interest in the course content and its applicability to the student's future academic pursuits. Fenwick also participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) program.
