Guided by Catholic Principles
Catholic Curricula
At Queen of All Saints Academy, Catholic principles are at the heart of the curricula and pedagogy employed in the classroom. The courses and teacher training incorporate religious studies, daily prayers, and regular Mass, ensuring students develop a strong foundation.
Moral Development
The teacher has a sacred duty to watch over her charges and to remove, as far as lies in her power, all that endangers their morality. And by the teacher’s example and directives, students are encouraged to practice the virtues of honesty, obedience, respect, charity, piety, and diligence.
Community Service
Students have the opportunity to engage in volunteer projects. These activities teach responsibility and self-sacrifice.
Spiritual Growth
We provide ample opportunities for spiritual growth through retreats, religion classes, spiritual conferences, and classroom prayers.
