Technology
MIQ School is committed to preparing our students to be active members in today's technology centered world. Grade levels K-8 receive instruction in the state of the art computer lab and are immersed in technology enhanced classroom. Lessons are integrated and enhanced using interactive white boards, responders, internet and multi-media that is textbook based. In addition, weekly STEM challenges encourage creativity and "out of the box" thinking, while making learning fun.
Religion
In addition to formal instruction in the classroom, the religion program provides opportunities for the students to live the faith through prayer services, participation in liturgies and reception of sacraments. Our students strive to see the sacredness in the depths of everything and to be inspirations for their families and community. At M.I.Q., Catholic Identity is the top priority, as we find that faith filled activities are more powerful than a stand alone religion class.
Athletics
The after school sports program is an extra-curricular activity, and is open to students grades 5th to 8th. Students in 4th grade can participate on D teams when needed. Athletic teams offered include football, basketball, volleyball and track. Students who participate in the after school sports program are subject to the responsibilities set forth in the MIQ Sports Contract.
