The Full Option Science System Kits on insects, solids, liquids, gases, and physics provide hands-on science experiences and serve as a foundation for more advanced ideas.
In social studies, students experience diversity and an appreciation for other cultures. In religion, students grow spiritually through preparation for First Eucharist, are taught a variety of prayer methods, and are introduced to the Liturgical Seasons and the sacramental life of the church year.
