Challenging Academics

Growing in Mind, Body, and Soul

Our lower school program is centered around the “three R’s”: Reading , Writing, Arithmetic. This includes a phonics based program for Reading, a concentration in grammar and diagramming the parts of speech, and an introduction to logic and analogies for enhanced thinking skills. Emphasis will also be placed on the development of analytical abilities in Mathematics and in the scientific method. Students will be required to develop facility with one foreign language (Spanish / Latin). The faith will permeate and provide cohesive unity in all subjects with an added course in Apologetics.
