In the 8th grade, the focus is on Catholic Social Teaching, Church History, and Morality. Throughout both grades there is an emphasis on the Liturgy, the Liturgical Calendar, the sacred times of Advent and Lent, and what it means to Live as a Catholic Christian in the world today. Students demonstrate learning through daily work, reflections, tests, and projects throughout the year. Students work towards being able to look at the world using their faith to guide their decisions. Catholic teachings and traditions will be reinforced to give students a base on which their faith can continue to grow and be enriched in the future.The hope is that the students become more engaged in their faith journey and become inspired and confident enough to live out their faith in an often challenging world.
