By the time students reach fourth grade, they are ready for new educational, physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges. The upper school at Mary, Queen of Peace provides them with educational and extracurricular opportunities that awaken their minds and bodies and fulfill their needs for new learning experiences and leadership roles. Each grade level will rotate between three teachers for their academic coursework in addition to enrichment classes.
The middle school, sixth and seventh grades, helps students grow and develop into responsible, inquisitive adolescents, while preparing them for the academic and social rigors of high school. It’s a two-year journey during which students begin to define their sense of self and hone their interests and talents in particular disciplines while developing their leadership skills.
