Live and asynchronous classes. Queen of Heaven Academy’s mission is to impart knowledge not only objectively, i.e., as various academic disciplines, but also to impart knowledge subjectively, i.e., as moral or intellectual virtue. Moral virtue observes and judges human acts; intellectual virtues lead to understanding and finally to wisdom. The high school curriculum is set within the framework of Aristotle and Aquinas’ definition of science. Popular use of the term science is limited to the science of mobile being, i.e., biology, chemistry, and physics. For our academy, as for St. Thomas Aquinas, science is much broader; it is knowledge through causes.
