Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weekly schedule?
Classes will meet five days a week, from September 3rd to May 22nd, from 8:25am -3:25pm. Students may arrive beginning at 8:10 and be picked up between 3:25-3:40.
​
Where is the location?
Mater Dei Latin Mass Parish in south Irving (2030 E. State Highway 356).
​
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, girls will attend Mass and have classes at the parish. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, students will still be dropped off, attend Mass, and be picked up at Mater Dei, but for part of the day, be transported to our nearby "urban homestead" (2120 Rosebud Dr.) for farm and garden work, home economics, and natural history. Field trips, as well as a Fall and Spring retreat, will also take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays (during normal school hours).

What is your technology policy?

​
How much homework will there be? Will there be obligations outside of class time?
Parents are the primary educators of the child and some of the most important lessons of adolescence are learned in the family. For that reason, we believe homework should be moderate and focused: not an undue burden and not "busy work".
Girls will have opportunity for study halls during the week; no homework will be assigned over breaks. You can read the complete homework policy and its rationale here.
​
Will the girls wear a uniform?
The uniform consists of a navy skirt, blazer (with school crest), and white button-down shirt, with dress shoes. Uniforms can be rented or purchased. For some activities (such as gardening), girls will be allowed to wear appropriate clothing aside from the academic uniform.
