Religion Curriculum

Religion is a part of everything that occurs within the school program, but each day the children have a formal religion class in which they learn the life of the faith.  The children have textbooks that address the diocesan grade level standards, and the teachers supplement the texts with many other materials.  They use bibles to read and analyze scripture. They interpret the scripture in an age-appropriate manner, and they apply the teachings to their everyday lives. They look at the scripture from a historical and a geographical perspective.  

Within the religion curriculum, the students are encouraged to discover how their faith impacts their lives.  They learn to celebrate their faith in liturgy and prayer.  They learn to value diversity and protect all of God’s creation.  They celebrate their own self-worth by using their talents to achieve, to communicate, and to solve problems.  They share their talents with others and seek opportunities for service and justice.
