Final exams are just around the corner!
In order to prepare our students for their future academic career, we provide the experience of final exams to our students. Each semester, students will take 90 minute finals in Math, English, History, Science and World Languages. These finals will be 15% of the final grade for the semester.
This tends to be a time of heightened anxiety for students and parents. Please know that we are aware of this. The teachers do everything they can to ease the normal stress associated with final exams. A lot of time in classes and advisory will be spent teaching students strategies for studying for larger summative tests like these. Advisors will help students create a study calendar and a study plan for each class.
While the subjects have not been assigned to specific times and days, here is when the finals have been scheduled:
Thursday December 10: Final #1: 8:20-9:50
Friday December 11: Final #2 8:20-9:50. Afterwards, 7th graders will serve at the Mother's Christmas Luncheon. Pizza will be provided to them
Monday December 14: FInal #3 8:20-9:50. Students performing in the Christmas Concert will leave for St. Andrew's church after for dress rehearsal
Tuesday December 15: Final #4 8:20-9:50. Christmas Concert at night
Thursday December 17: Final #5 8:20-9:50

7th graders making a difference in the community!
Isabella explains her experience at the Christian Service 4Life event:
Speakers talked all about how they bring their faith into their everyday life and work. They told us that we should think about how we spend our time, money and energy, to see if we are living up to what we believe. Also, they talked to us about how life is not about what we want, but what God wants.
