Academic Programs

Criteria – Honor Student, and standardized test scores.
This program challenges students who are academically capable of advanced work with the opportunity to research a variety of topics. Once the in-depth research is complete, the students then create a project that exhibits their creativity in written, visual and technological aspects. Their project is then displayed and presented at the Diocesan Expo

5th through 8th Grade participates in The Latin and Greek Roots Challenge. It is a fun, educational program designed to introduce students to Latin and Greek roots and their meanings. The underlying intent of the program is to instill in students the discipline to deconstruct words into their component roots and, therefore, to unlock the meaning of those words.

Arts Programs

An After School program sponsored by the academy on Tuesdays for grades 2-4 from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm. Class on Wednesdays for Grades 5-8 from 3:00- 5:30 Ms. Kennedy is the coordinator.

Faith Programs

Sacraments of Reconciliation (Penance) and First Eucharist (First Communion) usually take place in 2nd Grade. The Sacrament of Reconciliation usually occurs in early Lent, and First Communion usually occurs in April, May or June. The Sacrament of Confirmation usually takes place in the fall of 8th Grade.

The preparation for each sacrament is done by the classroom teacher and the parish Director of Religious Education. Confirmation preparation begins in 7th Grade.

Immediate preparation of the Sacraments should be done in the parish where the child will receive the sacrament for the first time. Ideally this is the child’s home parish. While the academy provides Religion classes, your child will need to participate in your parish program for the preparation of the Sacraments. For example, attend parent meetings and attend Mass with your child. If you wish your child to receive the sacraments at our host parish, St. Therese of Lisieux, you will have to attend the parish meetings and schedule for that parish.

RCIC is for children ten or older who may wish to know more about the Catholic faith and journey toward their own initiation into the Catholic faith. For more information call or speak to someone in school. We will be honored to assist you.
