Religion Curriculumhttps://handbook.la-archdiocese.org/chapter-4/section-4-3/topic-4-3-13
The religion program consists of instruction in the areas of scripture/Christian life, sacraments/worship, morality/social justice, and Christian faith and practice. Religion courses are considered to be academic courses. Grades in religion courses are based on academic achievement and not on a student’s religious affiliation, personal belief, or practice. The religion grade indicates comprehension of subject matter. All students will attend a weekly class Mass as well as monthly all-school Masses as part of the religion program. Junior high students are required to participate in the Christian service program.
Family Life
Family Life education is intended to provide a comprehensive view of human development and behavior, personal relationship, and management of resources. The purpose of formalized family life education is to inculcate Catholic values, virtues, and attitudes that relate to the current family life of the student. It is always the parents’ responsibility to provide instruction in human reproduction for their children. The school partners with parents in providing a formal curriculum in family life.
Formal instruction on the subject of human reproduction (a separate course treating intercourse, conception, and intrauterine development) is offered to students in grade five (5). Written parental consent must be obtained from each participating student. Course materials are recommended by the Department of Catholic Schools and are available for parents to preview prior to the beginning of the course.
