Fun Activities in Seventh Grade:

Seventh grade is an important year because students start to prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation which they receive in eighth grade.

Seventh grade students utilize the science lab to perform experiments, create slides to examine under microscopes, and build models of cells. They learn more about the scientific method by participating in the Science Fair and visiting a science center. In addition, the students visit the Renaissance Fair to experience history. They develop public speaking skills by participating in the Declamation Contest.
