On October 3, Ordo Amoris Classical Academy had the privilege of hosting our second Christian College Fair, bringing representatives from over 30 Christian colleges from across the United States. It was a tremendous opportunity for over 200 local students to meet with these colleges, learn about their programs, and explore options for their future education. As a kingdom minded school, we want to promote Christian education to as many students as we can. We pray that these encounters will bear fruit in the lives of the students, and that God will guide their steps as they consider the next chapter of their academic and spiritual journeys.

On Friday, October 11, our students enjoyed a fantastic time celebrating Roman Day! One unique characteristic about Ordo Amoris is that the entire school studies the same era of time in their humanities class. Having spent the first quarter immersed in learning about the ancient Romans, the entire school came together, dressed in their finest Roman attire, for a day filled with fun and competition. The festivities kicked off with Certamen, a quiz bowl competition showcasing the students’ knowledge of classical civilizations, languages, and cultures. Bunyan Hall took an early lead with their impressive performance in Certamen, but Knox Hall swept the Fine Arts competition and won the costume contest.
One highlight of the day was the morning assembly, led by Mr. Colbert, where he spoke about the Christian martyrs in ancient Rome. He reminded us of their steadfast faith in Christ, even in the face of persecution, encouraging our students to be bold in their own walk with the Lord. This was a powerful way to tie together the historical lessons of ancient Rome with the deeper spiritual heritage we share as Christians.
A grand Roman Feast was enjoyed in the courtyard, and the day concluded with a spirited game of harpastum, an ancient Roman ball game. We are so grateful for the joy and enthusiasm the students brought to the event, making it a day to remember.

College Board announced that St. Michael Catholic High School has been named to the 2024 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning GOLD distinction.
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.
St. Michael Catholic High School had 51.76% of seniors (‘24) who took at least one AP Exam during high school and 36.471% took five or more! 66% of these students scored a three or higher on at least one AP Exam.
St. Michael Catholic High School has 10 faculty members that teach 19 sections of our 12 available AP courses.
“AP gives students an opportunity to engage with college-level work, to earn college credit and placement, and to potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Lisa East, Dean of Academics.
