• Grades 6-8

  Preparing Faith-Filled lEADERS

  Our middle school is a close-knit community where students grow academically, spiritually, and socially in a supportive, faith-centered environment. With small class sizes and caring teachers, we focus on strong academics while helping students develop character, leadership, and a personal relationship with Christ.
  
  Academically, middle school students learn how to think critically, communicate clearly, and build strong foundations in subjects like reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and religion. Students see multiple teachers throughout their day by switching classrooms for certain subjects. Learning is enhanced by hands-on experiments and special projects as well as class trips, such as the 7th grade trip to MacKenzie Center environmental camp and the 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C. By the end of middle school, students typically are able to read and analyze more complex texts, write organized multi-paragraph essays, and apply problem-solving skills in mathematics such as working with pre-algebra or algebra concepts. Students also learn to conduct basic research, present their ideas clearly, and connect concepts across subjects like science, history, and literature. They develop the study habits, independence, and critical thinking skills needed to succeed in high school and beyond. They also learn how to manage their time, study effectively, and take responsibility for their own learning. 
  
  Personally, students grow in character, learning respect, integrity, perseverance, and how to build healthy friendships. They are also encouraged to develop their faith and use Catholic values to guide their choices and relationships. Middle school students attend the annual Catholic Youth Rally, and they have the opportunity to be Mass Servers, Sacristans, Readers, and Ushers. Leadership skills can be developed through participation in Student Council and Yearbook Club.
