6th Grade Curriculum Focus
Literacy
In addition to on-campus activities, the 6th grade students will have school day experiences that include local trips* within the greater Dallas community to expose students to experts and institutions that offer valuable information as well as opportunities for leadership and service activities.
The focus on literacy supports all of our Parish Principles, especially Preparation for College and Life by learning to think, communicate, create and collaborate as a team.
