Lower School
The elementary years at The Highlands School are a time of growth and development for your child, during which many lifelong habits and attitudes are established. The Highlands School prepares Kindergarten-5th grade students to read and analyze challenging works of literature, history, theology and the sciences, and then speak or write about them with clarity and attention to structure and style.
Lower School Curriculum
Our lower school curriculum covers science, history, grammar and literature with weekly instruction in art, computers, music and physical education. Third to fifth grades see continued deliberate practice by students in the classroom, independently and over each summer to ensure a solid foundation for concept development. Our math texts build basic concepts and foundational understanding with clarity and frequent review.

Building Lifelong Skills
To encourage independent reading, students visit our library weekly or borrow from classroom collections to read according to interest and reading level, striving to reach a quarterly personal reading goal. Web-based assessments challenge students to focus attention and expand the imagination while providing teachers and parents key data for evaluating progress. Students also receive instruction in the safe use of technology in a weekly computer applications class beginning in Kindergarten to begin setting the foundation for keyboarding, editing and coding (programming) skills necessary for 21st-century learning after third grade.
What Families Are Saying
“My family and I have been part of the THS community for 14 years. I have had 2 of my 3 children graduate from THS and my youngest will be in 8th grade next year. As a parent, I believe the decisions we make about the education of our children are among the most important in our lives. What I can say looking at my 2 graduates is that they are well-rounded individuals with a solid foundation in their Catholic faith as well as their academics. I believe the Catholic faith formation at THS is unparalleled in the DFW area and would highly recommend to parents who want this for their children."
