Overview
Covington Latin School, founded in 1923 by Bishop Francis Howard to serve the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington, is a coeducational, college preparatory day school with six forms; 7 through 12 (two preparatory years and years 9 through 12 [forms 1-4]). The School`s unique accelerated program is designed to provide academically motivated students the opportunity to begin secondary school after completing the fifth, sixth or seventh grade. Incoming Latin School students accelerate one to two years as a condition of admission, and thereby graduate one to two years earlier than their peers in traditional 9-12 schools.
Bishop Hendricken High School is Rhode Island's premier, all-boys Catholic school dedicated to the development of the total person -- heart, mind, body, and soul.
Here, we encourage students to know no limits to their potential and achievement.
