    • GRADES 6 - 8

      What makes a Catholic classical education during the Logic Stage so indispensable? During this decisive period of intellectual formation, students learn to contemplate the beauty and goodness of God’s revelation and begin building a coherent foundation for knowing Truth.

      Building on the foundation set in the Grammar Stage, in the Logic Stage students are introduced to logical thinking through the use of English grammar, literature, and mathematics.  Latin is taught not merely as vocabulary, but as a training in precision of thought, logic, and the meaning carried by words. History is presented within the horizon of God’s revelation and humanity’s response to His providence, including the role of the Roman world within salvation history. Even science is approached by asking how human inquiry participates in God’s created order and His purposes.

      Above all, this formation is rooted in the life of the Church and in a deep reverence for her tradition and history, through which students learn not only information, but wisdom.

    • HOMEWORK POLICY

      Daily homework is given in middle school; students can expect to have 1 - 1 1/2 hours of homework most nights. 
       
       Sunday is the Lord's day and we do not schedule Monday tests that require weekend studying nor do we assign practice work (unless part of a long-term assignment) on Fridays.
       
       The goal of homework is to give the students a chance to master complex subject matter and to acquire study habits that will allow them thrive in high school and beyond. Time management, organization, and focused study skills are competencies that are integral to success as a student. 
       
       In addition to daily homework, it is highly recommended that all children read at least 1/2 hour each day from a book that they love.
