Middle School at St. Mary’s
Advancing to middle school is an exciting time for students. Greater independence, the opportunity to participate in more extracurricular activities, and the pursuit of personal interests are all rewards of reaching the middle school years. At the same time, more rigorous course work and peer relationships can be challenging at this age. Now more than ever, students need a positive learning environment centered in faith.
The junior high curriculum at St. Mary’s is designed to ignite students’ passions, guide them through these sensitive years, and prepare them to succeed in high school and beyond. Starting in the fifth grade, students begin to change classrooms every period throughout the day, follow their own schedule, take on more challenging course work, and develop a deeper understanding of God’s word.
For students meeting the course requirements, local public high schools recognize these classes for high school credit:
