Our middle school program is specifically designed to prepare students for the rigorous high school classes. Middle school classes focus on establishing organizational skills, problem-solving, critical thinking, reasoning, and study skills within each content area. Teaching and learning is planned to provide support and paced to maintain increasing levels of difficulty in the areas of reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.
Each class period is a 40-minute well-structured and interactive session that meets daily. Enrichment classes such as Phys Ed, Art, Music, and Theology meet once a week. In addition to their classes, all students have a break, lunch, and recess. Schedules may be adjusted for Mass days, early dismissal days, or any other need, which will be communicated through the student/parent portal.
