Organizations must undergo a lengthy process that can take many years to officially operate under the Catholic Church. However, we can and do teach in the Catholic Tradition, attend daily Mass, and keep the Catholic faith at the heart of all we do at Drexel. 

Connections Church, located at 304 McAdenville Road, is hosting Drexel High School.

Currently, Drexel utilizes a “business casual” dress code to teach responsibility and professionalism. (Certain uniform pieces are required.)

Taught in the liberal arts tradition, the Drexel curriculum combines an integrated classical approach with interactive vocational and culture classes.

Drexel High School acknowledges the importance of sport as a lifelong endeavor that enhances one's life through active leisure. Additionally, competitive sports allow individuals to perform at their highest level. Sport, rightly ordered, provides students with opportunities for growth in virtue, strength, and abilities. We continue to work on which competitive sports will be available in 2025-26. A track and field program is currently under development, and we are working on several other individual sports programs for the first few years. Team sports will grow along with the school within a rightly ordered educational plan for students. 

We welcome students of various learning backgrounds and encourage open and honest conversations with parents about the particular needs of their students. We are not equipped to serve those with severe learning disabilities. However, we encourage all families to reach out and discuss their particular concerns, needs, and situations.

We are not equipped to work with students with severe behavioral issues. Every student is expected to adhere to the code of conduct laid out in the student-parent handbook. Students who cannot or will not live up to the Drexel Code of Conduct will lose the privilege of attending and participating in activities at Drexel High School.
