7th grade with mr. la france...

The 7th grade is part of the Jr. High Curriculum which is  departmentalized. Not only is the 7th grade curriculum challenging, but responsibility, accountability and maturing are an important part of being a 7th grader.  The curriculum includes the following subjects:​

• Religion – The primary focus in seventh grade is the New Testament.  In addition to the standard fundraisers, the seventh grade also participates the Christmas themed pancake breakfast in December.
• Science - Life Science - centers on the body systems and organisms.
• Social Studies - Medieval and Early Modern Times
• Literature / English / Language: daily use of acer notebooks.
• Vocabulary - focus is upon the new common core standards.
• Math – Pre-Algebra
• Art
• Music
• Foreign Language – rudimentary exposure to Spanish and French languages and culture
• Physical Education
• Computer
• Elective class - varies by trimester 

The seventh graders work with first graders in our "Guardian Angels" program. This program begins in the fall when the first graders choose one 7th grader to be their Guardian Angel for the following two years. The goal of this program is to assist the first graders going to mass and to help them with various school liturgies. The 7th graders exercise responsibility by giving good example. The students enjoy many activities together such as seasonal arts and crafts.

The seventh graders attend a variety of field trips which enhance our curriculum.

• History Comes Alive Series at Forest Lawn (live Michelangelo and Da Vinci presentation)
• Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels - Missionary Childhood Association - Youth Day (Oct)  
• Holyland Exhibition Tour (spring)
• Seventh grade retreat / Day of Prayer
• End-of-year service hour reward trip to Knotts Berry Farm (June)
