The Heights School

Religion

The Religion Department at The Heights School provides a full program of Catholic practice and doctrine for Catholic students (and non-Catholics who freely choose to participate) at every grade level. In addition, an Ethics program is available for non-Catholic students in grades 9 through 12. All religion teachers at The Heights School strive to provide solid doctrinal formation in full agreement with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and magisterial teachings. In addition, the Religion Department teaches basic prayers and sacramental practices.
