Preparing for High School
Lourdes middle school program for 6th, 7th and 8th grade is designed to prepare students for a college preparatory high school experience. Our departmentalized program allows each instructor to teach in his or her area of strength. In addition to core subjects, middle school students also have a wide variety of electives. In their religious studies, students gain a deeper knowledge of Church history and the Gospel. Service learning also takes on a new dimension in 8th grade with students required to complete 30 hours of outside service activity.
