Middle School Curriculum

Building Futures Together through
Faith & Academic Excellence

The STM Catholic curriculum follows the curriculum guidelines of the Archdiocese of Denver, and is in compliance with all state education requirements. It is designed to prepare students to succeed in any rigorous high school academic program by providing a firm foundation in fundamental knowledge and skills; encouraging breadth of intellectual exposure and depth of study; and inspiring creativity and critical analysis. Solid as it is, our curriculum is in a continuous state of evolution as we aim to equip each new incoming class with the tools, confidence, and abilities demanded by our increasingly complex world.

The core curriculum consists of

Elective courses (Held in the 3rd trimester and taught by field professionals, middle school students are able to explore studies in various programs such as photography, engineering, drama, mock trail and more.)

In addition to the five core classes required in each grade level, students will be required to take these additional courses as prescribed by their particular grade level curriculum.
