Faith

Rooted in our Catholic Faith

At Canyon Heights Academy, religion is more than just a subject in school — it’s a methodology that helps students reach authentic maturity as their true selves, ready to live what they believe. As one of only 150 Regnum Christi schools worldwide, we follow the Integral Formation philosophy, which nurtures students intellectually, humanly, spiritually and apostolically, preparing them to live their beliefs with confidence and conviction.

Faith, Education & Formation

We are proud of our Catholic identity and intentionally incorporate it into our curriculum. From early Montessori through eighth grade, Canyon Heights students are challenged academically but are also taught that they have dignity and are worth more than their test scores will ever indicate.

We believe each child is special in God’s eyes and are passionate about educating the whole person. Using the Integral Formation model, our students are empowered to live with conviction, form a personal relationship with Christ and embody His love in all they do.

Spiritual Opportunities

Our chapel is located in the center of campus — perfectly situated to represent how growth in spiritual life lays the foundation for students to succeed. We create an environment that nurtures a love for Christ, fosters personal relationships with Him, and inspires students to live as His apostles.

Virtue Program

Virtue is the foundation for a meaningful life. At Canyon Heights, students in grades K–8 explore a new Christian virtue each month and learn how to integrate these values into their daily lives in exciting, age-appropriate ways. This deliberate practice helps students develop self-motivation and perseverance and instills the virtues to guide their actions in the classroom and beyond.
