Throughout the school year, various cultural and traditional celebrations add fun and excitement to our program. Latin is taught in Grades 7 and 8, introducing students to vocabulary, syntax, translation and grammar. This is combined with studies of Mythology and Roman History. Library At the heart of the Melrose school stands our library, where children love to gather to read and explore our thousands of volumes. The Librarian meets with each class weekly, teaching research skills at an age appropriate level.
Students receive guidance and support in selecting books both for pleasure and for research.
Our facility also includes a periodicals area, a reference area, a collection of videos and computers that are fully on-line. Religious Knowledge Religious knowledge is incorporated into the curriculum at all grades. Brief morning chapel services are drawn from Judeo-Christian principles and promote respect and understanding of all faiths. Chapel discussions, led by teachers and students, cover such topics as honesty, integrity and sensitivity to others. The course strives to create an understanding of our greater purpose and the value of every person.
