Cascia Hall Grades 6-12 Curriculum Guide
The mission of Cascia Hall Preparatory School is to educate the whole person: body, mind, and
spirit.
The Middle School (6-8) Division functions to introduce sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students to the
heritage of the highly successful, traditional, liberal arts curriculum of Cascia Hall Preparatory
School. Emphasized are the self-motivation, self-discipline and self-responsibility required to
master the intellectual and human skills necessary for undergraduate studies, as well as for one’s
life. Validation of our program is seen by strong scores on national tests and recognition by state,
regional, and national accrediting agencies and professional organizations.
The Academic Philosophy of the Upper School (9-12) Curriculum of Cascia Hall School is based on the
Latin School tradition of our earliest American schools. This same tradition has been nurtured by the
Augustinians in the United States since the founding of Villanova college (now University) in 1842.
Basically, this tradition seeks to educate the whole person, to encourage and develop an ongoing
pursuit of the truth, which leads to God who is ultimate truth. While maintaining this firm basis in
tradition, Cascia Hall also continues to develop its course of studies, in keeping with world growth and
the development of technology.
