Mission:
Brophy is a private, Jesuit, Catholic, college preparatory that is committed to the belief that all creation is a reflection of God’s love and presence which demands a
passionate and generous response from the entire community. We are dedicated to students of all socio-economic backgrounds who have the potential and desire to
maximize their God-given gifts. By creating an atmosphere for academic, emotional and spiritual growth, Brophy College Preparatory develops critically thinking,
articulate, sensitive and aware students with a strong sense of self-worth. Through the process of nurturing the soul, Brophy offers these students an intimate
relationship with God and inspires leaders who are devoted to the service of others in a global community.
Academic Program:
Competitive admissions bless Brophy with academically talented and motivated students who are supported by a dedicated faculty. Admission is based on an
examination, previous academic record, teacher recommendations, and a personal interview. All Brophy students follow a curriculum comprised solely of collegepreparatory disciplines. Typically, more than 99% of graduates proceed directly to higher education, 98% to four-year institutions.
Graduation Requirements:
The basic program for seniors requires a total of twenty-seven credits. This consists of four credits each of English and mathematics; three and one-half credits each of
social science and religious studies; three credits each of foreign languages and science; two and one-half credits of fine arts; one credit of physical education; one-half
credit of health, community service, and electives.
AP/Honors Courses and Dual Enrollment:
Honors and Advanced Placement sections exist in each of the curricular disciplines. Brophy strives to provide levels of acceleration and challenge in all sections of
required courses and in the elective program, offering the following advanced sections. However, the offering of AP courses varies each year and some courses may not
be available to all students. Many of Brophy’s upper level classes may be taken for dual enrollment credit through Rio Salado College.

Cumulative GPA Distribution Class of ‘15
Grade Point Average: All courses, except those graded Pass/Fail, are included in the cumulative grade-point
average. Honors courses receive a 0.50 weight value, and AP courses receive a 1.0 weight value on a four-point scale.

Assignment of Rank: Brophy does not rank students. The school admits students on the basis of their abilities to
succeed in a college-preparatory environment. Accordingly, 98% of students pursue a more rigorous curriculum than
many of their peers, and since a greater number of them attain a high standard of academic excellence, a cumulative ranking system that has the potential to magnify small differences in performance would focus on individual student differences
instead of student achievement. The distribution of GPAs among the current senior class appears in the table to the right.
