| Freshman Seminar class focuses on three distinct areas: technology training,
transition from the middle school to high school, and curricular/extra-
curricular support. The class will provide technology training to incoming
freshmen to provide practice in the skills which they will need in their
classes. It will also serve as a way to ease the transition from middle
school to high school. The class will address the myriad of issues related
to the curricular, emotional and maturational issues present in the
transition from 8th to 9th grades. Additionally, the class will allow for
the development of social, emotional, and academic skills that need
introduction at the ninth grade level. These skills include the Maryknoll
service component, decision-making as a process at the high school level,
rigor-appropriate study skills, and habits of mind.
