Catholic education in the classical tradition
Drexel High School opened in Fall 2023 in Belmont, North Carolina, and student applications are currently being accepted for the 2024-25 school year. The mission of Drexel High School is to form students in Truth, encourage them in wonder, educate them in the liberal arts and sciences, and prepare them for life as capable and responsible children of God committed to knowing, loving, and serving God through their work, leisure, and prayer.

Eucharistic Centered
Drexel is deeply committed to the Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith. Each day at Drexel begins with students participating in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Opportunities for Confession, prayer and pious devotions are regular aspects of the school’s life. Combined with our curriculum’s fidelity to the Church’s Magisterium taught by faithful Catholic educators, all contribute to an educational process that promotes a Catholic worldview designed to form young men and women to become intentional disciples of Jesus Christ.
An Education for Life
With a deep commitment to classical education, the Drexel curriculum is designed to help students live well now and prepares them for their life and vocation beyond high school. With its foundation in the liberal arts and sciences, the Drexel curriculum also exposes students to the art of leisure, introduces them to practical life skills, and provides them with personal mentorship.
Culture of Charity
At Drexel High School, the structure of the day, courses, and classrooms are designed for a culture of friendship, conversation, and learning. The best books in the world won't make up for an uncharitable, disorderly, or gloomy atmosphere. Grounded in prayer, charity, and shared experiences, the entire school community works towards a culture of love, respect, and learning.
