Eighth Grade
Students seeking an academic challenge in preparation for high school will find it at Saint Ferdinand's. Our curriculum includes more than the basics. We offer art, drama, music and physical education in addition to a demanding core set of classes and a wide variety of extra curricular sports and clubs.
Junior high school is a time of testing limits and developing a moral conscience, so academics is only part of what your student will learn. Serving others through our community service program, taking part in Mass, and learning what it means to be Catholic all take place in a structured and traditional environment.
High school is one year away. By the end of this year, we strive to teach the skills and lessons our students need to prepare for the tough entrance exams at schools such as Alemany HS or honors classes at public high schools. Eighth graders become the leaders at our school and take charge of numerous school-wide community service projects and events.
