In 9th grade and 10th grade we studied "Salvation History", with 9th grade covering mostly the Old Testament, and 10th grade the New Testament and the 7 sacraments. What I loved about this 2 year course was that it was mostly history which I loved and which I did not get from my grammar school religion classes. Junior year was "Christian Humanism" which was the best course I have taken in any school. We covered a variety of topics using film, books (Man's Search for Meaning, A Man for All Seasons, 3 By Flannery O'Connor), philosophy, a little psychology, history, and a lot of Flannery O'Connor. Senior year was "Christian Existence" which covers philosophy, morality, vocations, marriage, etc.. The school now has "Church History" as the second year course so the religion classes are a little different today. Overall a very positive and intelligent religious education with none of the false teachings described by others, and as such the school has been a source of many vocations for the Church, priestly and otherwise.
