A child's mind is like a sponge...
A child's mind is like a sponge that can quickly and easily retain information. In the Grammar Stage, we focus primarly on mastering the facts of arithmetic, basic science, literature, writing, and language to build a solid foundation.
Kindergarten students learn our Catholic Faith through Catechesis of the Good Shephard and spend time in atrium weekly. All grades K-6th have daily religious studies which include the memorization of Catholic prayers (in both Latin and English), learning how to pray the rosary, reading the lives of the Saints and the study of Catholic morals and virtues.
Starting in 1st grade, students learn the basics of Latin grammar and vocabulary and begin learning how to write in cursive.
