Thanks anything you are able to share about the school? [/quote]

We’ve been at HTS for 6+ years and very happy; especially as Jesuit Catholics.

HTS uses the Eureka math curriculum for the Lower School.   It’s worked well for my kids.  There’s an excellent math coordinator for the lower school too.  She gives advanced kids harder work.

In the Upper School, which runs from 5th to 8th grades, math and ELA classes are small (around 12-16 kids) and somewhat differentiated depending on the student’s ability.  My kid regularly stays after school for free “office hours” to complete math homework with peers and the teacher.  7th and 8th graders are invited by teachers to be part of honors math and/or ELA.

See the website for outcomes. Lots of HTS grads go to Gonzaga (boys) or Visi (girls).  Others go to top privates or academic-based publics (eg TJ in Arlington).

Overall, HTS is a community for students and parents interested in Jesuit Catholic values and a top-notch education. [/quote]

Thanks for sharing. We are catholic (although not really practicing) so happy to get back on track with religion. Is it difficult for admission in the lower grades? We would be seeking for next fall[/quote]

Parishioners have the first chance at entry.  The natural entry points are 5th and 6th, since more kids are added to the classes those years.  K-4th are usually stuck at 30 kids per grade with not a lot of movement, but definitely worth checking with Admissions [/quote]
