Traditional Classroom Program

This is the classroom based model that offers Catechist led learning of the faith.  The curriculum has 21 faith lessons that are scheduled from September through April.

Approximately three classes a month. 

• When a child has missed a session, it is the parents’ responsibility to cover the missed lesson at home.
   
• Parents are expected to attend the beginning of the year informational meeting, and help in the classroom if needed; act as substitute catechists, if possible.

Sunday Session 1:  8:30 am – 9:50 am
Sunday Session 2: 11:10 am – 12:30 pm

Middle School Program - "Chosen"
7th and 8th Grade

The “Chosen” program is a two year faith journey to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation.  The program shows our youth that it is not so much about them choosing God, as it is about God choosing them.

The Middle School meets Sunday mornings from 8:30 am to 9:50 am in O’Brien Hall, with 7th and 8th grade alternating weeks. (Each grade meets twice a month)   (Schedule/syllabus with be provided at a later date.)

The “Chosen” program uses a Catechist led small group approach.  
It consists of prayer, videos & discussion, with Faith Challenges.

Homeschool Program
Kindergarten - Sixth Grade

The Homeschool model offers home based learning with the parent as the primary teacher of the faith.  The curriculum has 21 faith lessons which are completed at home at the parents’ discretion.  (One lesson per week is preferable.) 

Requirements for this year:

• There are 21 lessons in the book broken up into seven themes and to be completed from September to April.
   
• There is an on-line component where the chapter tests are submitted into our office through the “Alive in Christ” website.  The website also offers interactive practice test, games and puzzles for each grade level.

Second graders who will be receiving First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion may only choose the Traditional model. Homeschool is not an option.
