Faith Education and Formation

From kindergarten through high school, THS students are taught a deep understanding of the Catholic faith through a strong religion/theology curriculum. Our team of Legionary priests and Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi are instrumental in serving as role models, spiritual mentors, intercessors and friends for THS students, faculty, staff and families. Ultimately, the Formation Team ensures that our students are protected through prayer, supported in faith and sent out with the spiritual tools they need to live for Christ every day.

Spiritual and Apostolic Opportunities

Spiritual formation is achieved through an atmosphere that fosters a personal friendship with Jesus Christ, rooted in love for Him and in awareness of being His disciple. Students have many opportunities to grow in this relationship.

Virtue Program

All parents want their child to be a person of upstanding character, but how do children learn these traits? The Highlands School virtue program offers students an opportunity to know, value, practice and internalize virtue in a consistent and committed manner, across all areas of academic and student life.

Students learn and practice virtues like self-discipline, respect, generosity, responsibility and perseverance, holding to the highest standard of Christ’s behaviors towards them.
