[edit] Academics
Mariemont offers a college preparatory curriculum with well over 90% of graduates each year going to an accredited college or university. Mariemont offers basic courses in such areas as Math, English, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Languages (Latin, German, Spanish and French) as well as a wide array of elective classes. The Technology department is particularly good. Mariemont has a seven bell school day. Mariemont offers primarily college preparatory classes but also has advanced placement classes and foundations classes. Mariemont also offers tutors for special needs students. The Mariemont special education program was one of the most renowned in the city as recently as a few years ago, often drawing students from outside the district, but has gone down in quality since its funding has been reduced.
