Religion-Religion
is taught daily and gives our students the opportunity to grow
formally, spiritually, prayerfully, and liturgically. Different
classes take an active part in preparing and leading the weekly
Friday Masses.
English-Each
grade emphasizes grammar, vocabulary, and composition skills,
especially through the use of Power Writing. In grades 7 & 8,
the skills to complete a research paper are taught.
Reading/Literature-Reading in the
early grades incorporates a structured program of phonics in
addition to the basal reader. Students at all grade levels
enjoy additional reading. Classical and contemporary literature
are stressed in grades 6-8.
Mathematics-Fundamental
skills, problem solving, logic, and accuracy in computation are
stressed in our math curriculum. Students in grade 7 who
qualify may take Pre-Algebra and proceed with Algebra in grade 8
for high school credit.
Science-Scientific
skills and topics are presented through a hands-on approach.
Students in grades 6-8 learn in a lab environment, and block
scheduling allows time for experiments and discovery activities.

learn about our world, our country, and our community. Students
in grades 4 & 7 focus on Texas History and in grade 8 on
American History. Geography and Civics are taught in-depth to
students in grades 6-8.

computer, music, health, physical education, and Spanish.
