Religion
Our Religion Curriculum is based on the objectives of the Catholic Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi. We focus on nurturing an inclusive Christian approach to our shared Christian faith, beliefs, history, and service. At Holy Family School, our day begins and ends with prayer, and our love for Christ drives our curriculum, academics, and activities. This year, we began implementing the Virtue-Based Restorative Discipline Program, which has been successfully used throughout the Diocese of St. Louis, Missouri. Students learn the importance of making good choices and modeling Christian virtues. As students grow and mature, it is sometimes a sad reality that they make negative choices that harm the classroom environment, violate our Christian school values, or treat others poorly. That student must then work to repair the damage caused and restore unity in the classroom and school community. As a school, we are dedicated to loving our students and nurturing them to grow in a strong Faith, grounded in Christ’s teachings.
Service Learning
Service learning is an important aspect of Catholic education. Our students experience the joys that come from giving and serving throughout the year. Service learning is as much the journey in spiritual awareness as it is in the actual projects completed. While donating tangible items is a key component of serving others, service learning is about leading our students to use the faith and knowledge we impart to faithfully serve others and to emphasize the importance of giving back to the community.
