Students participate each week in the celebration of the Divine Liturgy by singing in the choir, serving in the altar, and praying together. Worshipping together is the core expression of faith and central to the formation of young souls.
Some courses explicitly aim to help students grow in the knowledge of their faith and deepen their experience of God. These include study the lives of saints, Holy Scripture, Church history, the spiritual life, liturgics, and doctrine.
No subject can be adequately taught apart from the light of Christ. Each subject–from science to mathematics to literature–offers a unique opportunity to know the Creator of all things.
