Religion.

The study of the Catholic faith is pivotal in our educational process.

In 6th grade focus is on the Old Testament, in 7th grade the New Testament is the primary area covered and in 8th grade the History of the Catholic Church is covered as well as Theology of the Body.

Math.

Students are instructed in ability groups from 6th grade through 8th grade.

This permits students to pursue either algebra or Pre- Algebra by the time they are in the eighth grade.

ELA.

Grammar and literature are used to reinforce writing skills for each student.

Teachers focus on grammar to reinforce writing skills across curriculum that are so important for high school success.

Research papers for Science, Social Studies and Literature classes are completed during curriculum.

Students are exposed to a wide variety of literary forms including plays, poetry, novel studies and great works of fiction.

Through these, students learn the basic elements of plot, character, theme and become versed in completion of character studies.

All middle school students participate in our Accelerated Reading Program in order to enhance their reading level.

At the completion of each book read each student is able to test their knowledge by taking an automated test in our Computer Center or a student's classroom.

The Accelerated Reading Program tracks the books each student has read, the level of the book, and the overall score and points received.
