At SJE faith formation is very important. We have a unique opportunity to help shape the Catholic identity of each student. We attend Mass and adoration weekly, making sure our students have a pivotal role in planning our liturgies. In doing this, we seek to introduce them to the Person of Jesus present in the Sacraments.
Our curriculum in the elementary school grades is focused on finding God in our everyday lives and responding to His gift of love. Our middle school curriculum finds inspiration from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, molding and teaching students about the Old Testament, New Testament, prayer and morality. In all things, we seek to introduce our students to a personal relationship with Jesus.
Religion is a core academic subject conducted daily. Students are expected to know the basics of the Catechism, referred to as Basic Catholic Teachings or BCTs. They are quizzed regularly in the classroom and by the Principal.
