Our academic program is guided by the accreditation process for Catholic schools, identified by the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Education Department. This program requires a foundational commitment to the Texas Essential Skills, or TEKS which are required instructional objectives for each course. HOWEVER, our classical education model goes far beyond the state requirements.
The authentic purpose of education and of life drives every decision and lesson. Lesson plan objectives are based not on what “students will be able to do”, but rather, on what “truth students will behold.” Students are constantly reminded that we are training for heaven.
Catholic schools in the Diocese of Austin do not take the Texas STAAR test. However, we do utilize Reading and Math benchmarks and nationally norm-referenced tests that allow us to measure progress and ensure academic growth.
