As a culminating activity on the Crusades, our 3rd graders crafted shields that beautifully integrated History, Religion, and Math. They discovered that Crusades comes from the Latin word Crux, meaning cross – a symbol the Pope told the Crusaders to wear as they fought to reclaim the Holy Land. Applying their recent math lessons, students used standard and metric measurements to design a cross template for their shields. Rulers, faith, and creativity all came together!

Our second graders dove into a memory matching game this week as part of their spelling lessons on contractions—and they LOVED it! In a Classical classroom, we honor the natural joy of learning by building strong foundations in language, grammar, and logic—even through play!

On St. Patrick’s Day, our seventh and eighth graders dressed in green to celebrate the beloved saint—and launched into an exciting STREAM adventure! Under the guidance of Upper School Science teacher Mr. Cirillo, students built and tested a working model of a trebuchet, applying their knowledge of force and motion as part of their classical Nature Studies. With the concept proven and data collected, the full build is now officially underway for the upcoming STREAM Fair! This hands-on experience blends science, engineering, creativity, and wonder—just as a classical liberal arts education is meant to do. Rooted in faith and reason, our students are learning to explore the world as a reflection of God’s orderly and awe-inspiring creation. From festive green to flinging machines—this day had it all!

A Joyful Creation for the 2025 Jubilee Year! Our Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st-grade students have been hard at work creating a beautiful "stained glass" banner for the 2025 Jubilee Year By carefully placing tissue paper squares, they designed a colorful display that will hang above our Jubilee Doors, a reminder of our faith-filled journey toward Christ. We can’t wait to unveil the completed Jubilee Doors soon! Check back for the big reveal and join us in celebrating this special moment in our school’s faith journey.
