ADAPTATION TO THE ’80’S (Ulnssxcnl Stress on Excellence The Scientific Course prepared students for engineering schools. By the 1950‘s French had already been introduced as the first modern language taught at the school. A General Course had been added for those with difficulties in languages and math. Modern courses such as Sociology. Economics, and Business Law had been added. Throughout the years the Jesuits have tried to do more than just fill students’ minds with information. This dedication to the individual is seen in theology classes, required of all students throughout the years. In the I970's students were given more freedom in choosing their courses. They were able to study a variety of subjects. The latest modernization of the curriculum came this year in Computer Education. This is the first time all students have the chance to become computer literate. Since the beginning St. Ignatius has stressed a basic classical education. However it has not been afraid to mod- ernize when necessary. Through this combination of old and new techniques, the school has achieved a very successful record.
