Our students are preparing their hearts and their theology classroom for Advent!
Today, students helped set up the theology room altar with the Advent wreath as they learned more about the liturgical year and the rhythms of the Church that shape our lives.
In a classical Catholic education, formation isn’t just taught; it’s practiced. These hands-on moments help children understand the beauty of the seasons, the meaning behind our traditions, and the call to prepare joyfully for the coming of Christ.
Watching them carefully place each item on the altar reminds us: little hands can carry big faith.

Cold, rainy days mean recess looks a little differentbut it never stops our students from using their creative brain power!
Today our students gathered around the cafeteria tables with Brainflakes, Uno cards, and plenty of imagination. Even when we can’t be outdoors, the heart of classical Catholic education continues: joyful learning, meaningful play, and forming minds that know how to wonder, build, collaborate, and think deeply.
Whether they’re constructing miniature masterpieces or strategizing their next card move, our children are practicing the habits that shape strong thinkers and joyful souls.
Classical learning isn’t only in the classroom; it’s in every moment they create, explore, and grow.
