Forming Future Saints and Scholars
Working with parents and in the school setting, these students practice leadership skills
throughout the day. Students are encouraged to avoid cliques and to appreciate diversity in
themselves and others. They learn appropriate ways to interact with friends and to value and
protect their sexuality. Departmentalized classes help prepare the students for high school. They
must take ownership and responsibility for their work and be organized. At this time, the students
are introduced to the concept of long-range projects, requiring them to plan their time and to do more complex tasks in a methodical manner.
