Grades 5th through 7th
One of the strengths of a Christian Brothers education has been the incorporation of extracurricular activities. This philosophy has been entrenched in De La Salle’s philosophy of education since the 17th century.
Christian Brothers School believes that a strong extracurricular program supports the classroom learning environment and provides students with opportunity to grow in a variety of areas. We provide academic and athletic extracurricular programs that enable the girls to
- participate in new experiences,
- set a goal and a plan for attaining that goal, and
- work cooperatively with teammates toward an accomplishment.
Below is a list of activities we may offer:
