ST JOHN’S CHOIR SCHOOL 2015-2016 REGISTRATION. Our parish’s growing school, St John’s
Choir School, is now accepting registration for the 2015-2016 school year. See the parish website for
contact and registration information or talk to Jacquie O’Neil after the Parish Mass on Sundays. Grades
3-8 Programme: This wonderful two day/week programme is designed for homeschool children in
grades 3-8. It features a well-directed choir programme as well as foundational grammar and composition,
literature-based history, catechism, Spanish/Latin, art, and sport. The classes are limited in size and some
grades are now almost full. High School: Beginning this fall, SJCS is offering a four day/week complete
programme of courses in grade 9 and grade 10. This classical programme will feature courses which
achieve AL outcomes while offering extra formation in formal logic, Euclidean geometry, and a
humanities programme emphasizing history and Great Books. It also includes, of course, the excellent
Choir programme!
