Upper level programs

Catholic Schoolhouse is a program for your entire family!
 
Creating one-stop-shopping for parents simplifies your family’s schedules, allowing for more time at home.  In the upper level, family unity remains paramount while we focus on is growing our students to become active, Catholic citizens.
 

Catholic Schoolhouse believes the parent can and should be the primary educator or their students.

Your educational plan will fill their minds with great knowledge–yet all that knowledge is for naught if they do not acquire the ability and desire to share that knowledge to impact the world.

Catholic Schoolhouse upper-level mission is communication–to assist student to learn to think, write, and speak well, so they can use that knowledge to impact the world.

Three focus areas help to achieve a well-rounded program:

  • Communications – Learning to write and speak well. Includes IEW, Lost Tools of Writing, Speech, and Latin inspiration
  • Focus Classes – Taking a few things off of the parents’ plate!
    • Integrated Fine Arts (dialectic and rhetoric) – subject that often gets dropped as we get focused on college and credits, but probably the most valuable for finding the true, good, and beautiful. Shows the connections between subjects–an essential part of a classical education.
    • Science Labs (dialectic only) – One of a kind hands-on experience to encourage thinking and analysis surrounding scientific thought. Gives you student exposure to a science teacher who can inspire.
    • Credit Rigor Course (rhetoric only) – Give students an opportunity to earn outside credit with deadlines and homework. One-half credit courses cycle with the tour:
      • US government (Tour I)
      • logic (Tour II)
      • economics (Tour III)
  • Seminar – Promotes interaction among students on an intellectual level. Sharing ideas and plenty of time for talking, debate, and discussion meet the needs of developing teens.
    • Includes book discussions (dialectic and rhetoric), projects, and timeline (dialectic), church document discussion, and Socratic Seminar (rhetoric)
