• Theology is defined as the study and discourse about God. A fundamental understanding of our identity is that we were created by God out of love for the purpose of returning that love. In order to return that love to God, we must understand Him and come to know Him through study. Our Catholic faith is rich in scripture and tradition; these will be our guides as we grow deeper in our relationship with God.

  • Strong reading skills can unlock the world for a student. Our reading and phonics program will focus on systematic phonics, phonemic awareness, spelling analysis, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. A strong reading and phonics curriculum allows students to gain the most from complementary grammar, composition, and literature.

  • The study of History allows us to explore the evolution of civilization and the growths and declines of humanity. As we discover the great minds and influencers throughout the centuries, we will come to reconcile and learn from their successes as well as their shortcomings. The study of geography, cultures, and societies allows us to see beyond ourselves and contemplate the greatness and beauty of God, our creator. Comprehending the timeline from creation to current day allows students to understand cause and effects of historical events, draw conclusions, and make historical connections.

  • The study of mathematics is yet another way to become acquainted with the beauty of God's creation. Math not only reflects human ingenuity, but also the complexity and perfect order of the world that He created for us. We will study number sense, operations, computation, geometry, algebra, statistics, probability, and calculus. We believe in not only teaching the fundamentals, but teaching the application as well. As such, the curriculum includes measurements, data analysis, units, and problem solving methodology.

  • Music and art are windows into the human soul because they allow for a type of expression not possible with words. We will explore Catholic art and learn how the good and beautiful can elevate the senses while worshipping God. By experiencing the rich musical and artistic heritage of the church, students will see how artists use their gifts to honor God.

Academic Subjects

We will study logic, critical thinking, ethics, morality, metaphysics, and epistemology. A strong background in philosophy will produce students capable of analytical thinking and original thought.

Instruction will focus on handwriting, dictation, and will teach note taking. Composition will include formal essays, creative writing, and technical writing. These will be accomplished by developing ideas through the writing process of creating outlines, developing structure and style, and using references.

  • In literature, we will not only explore the great written works of western civilization that shaped our society, but also learn the necessary skills to fully comprehend them. We will dive into these works by employing literary analysis, learning elements of a story, plot components, and studying vocabulary. Comprehension will be developed by making plot diagrams, storyboards, and diagramming. These skills will benefit the student across a variety of subjects and will contribute to well rounded students.

  • In the study of science we learn about God's creation and the order which it was created. Students will learn about God by studying the mechanisms that govern the world around us.

Our goal is to form young minds to apply scientific disciplines in the world.

The development of good character is the natural consequence of practicing the cardinal and theological virtues in everyday life. Students will learn to live virtuously by developing good habits, ethics, and moral principles. Practically speaking, these will develop executive functioning and contribute to professional development.
