Grade 6 Religion

At Overbrook School, the students learn that their faith is an essential part of their daily lives. The foundational principle of the religion program is the truth that each person is made in God’s image and likeness with inestimable dignity. The students strive to live this truth in an environment that fosters the growth of virtue in each individual. Through the study of Sacred Scripture, church history, the sacraments, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the students examine the richness of their living faith and gain new insights about themselves.

Through their Catholic education, the students receive the moral foundation necessary to face the challenges and difficulties that life brings. By establishing a solid moral foundation, the students will be prepared to make important decisions and to formulate an educated and faith-filled opinion on the controversial issues that they will face in the future.
