Collaboration and Leadership

The Saint Nicholas Catholic School Junior High program is designed to foster an atmosphere where students can fully realize how much God loves them and develop their moral judgment as Christ-like citizens. Junior high students are provided opportunities to collaborate with each other and develop their leadership skills. The goal is to prepare students as they make the transition to one of the many prestigious Bay area college prep high schools they will attend.

Advisory Periods with Teachers

In Advisory, the junior high students will meet biweekly with their advisory teacher. In this advisory period, students will check in with each other and discuss one lifelong learning skill. After the initial meeting, students will attend “office hours” of other teachers to receive extra support.
