MIDDLE SCHOOL

Our middle school classes are departmentalized with specialists teaching in each area. Students have a variety of teachers throughout the day as they move from class to class. Special lectures, projects and classroom presentations challenge all students and give each an opportunity to grow and reach his/her maximum potential.

The curriculum includes religion with an emphasis on the Sacrament of Confirmation, which is received in the eighth grade. A literature-based language arts program ( with a strong emphasis on writing), science, math, and social studies complete the formal academic program.

The upper grades also participate weekly in physical education, library, art, and computers. Changes to our curriculum occur from year to year depending on the needs of the students, the changing of standards, and the current trends in education. Textbooks and all programs are evaluated on a five- year cycle which ensures that our programs are constantly reviewed and strengthened. It is our desire to remain current and relevant in order to provide our students with the best education possible.
