Campus Hours & Summer Sessions
Nativity will be closed from June 15th-26th. We will reopen on June 29th for our summer session, which runs until July 31st (with the exception of July 3rd in observance of the national holiday).
Summer Programming: From June 29th-July 31st, Nativity will be open from 9am-2pm for “Summer Sessions” – a time for students to study, work on their summer coursework, exercise under the supervision of teachers, and help with school building projects.
St. Albert Lab will be open for study hall and a weight room will be available. All students are welcome and encouraged to attend as they are able. Parents must complete the permission slip below to grant permission for your child to attend in the summer.
Dress Code: Students must wear a collared shirt or a Nativity-issued t-shirt when on campus. Jeans are acceptable if they are clean, neat (not excessively baggy, no holes) and fit at the waist. Sweat pants, leggings and short skirts are not permitted.
Lunch: We do not have lunch service in the summer, so students should bring lunch if they plan to stay through the lunch hour. Students may not leave and come back to campus.
Please see the school calendar for the exact days and times: www.nativityhs.org/calendar.
We hope to see you on campus this summer!
Summer Coursework
We are so excited to have you join us for our third year of operations, growing our small community as we strive to form young men and women in faith, intellect, virtue, and service. Each summer, we will prepare students for the coming year with a prescribed course of summer academic work aimed at keeping them mentally sharp while respecting the need for leisure and rest. Summer coursework is graded and will be the first grades for the 2026-2027 academic year.
There are two components to the summer work:
Literature Book: Each grade-level will read a work of fiction/historical fiction that thematically ties in with their humanities curriculum and complete the related assignment, linked below by grade level.
Math Practice in Khan Academy: Students will be assigned online mathematics practice through Khan Academy based on their math placement for next year.
Nativity will provide the books in a summer work packet and will assign the Khan Academy course electronically. Current students will receive the book on the last day of school. Incoming students have the option of picking the book up at school or receiving it by mail. Please let us know your preference. Students should begin working on the summer work no later than June 29th. Click the buttons below for the assignment details for different grade levels.

The Opening Retreat for all students is Wednesday, August 12th - Friday, August 14th. This retreat is overnight for two nights about 90 minutes away with all students and teachers. It is a powerful and formative experience for students to kick off the year and build community.

School Hot Lunch
Nativity’s lunch program provides a delicious, healthy, nutritionally balanced meal that tastes like it was cooked at home. Prepared in a commercial grade kitchen by a private chef, each meal consists of generous portions of a main entree with a side, vegetables, and a piece of fruit. Dessert is served once per week.
Students enrolled in the lunch program must commit to either the full school year or the fall semester. The cost is $150 per month for 10 months, which averages $8.75 per school day. To enroll in the lunch program, complete the sign up form below to select the fall term or whole year and your preferred payment method. Payment options include:
Monthly billing through FACTS

If you would like to try the lunch before committing for the full semester, you may sign up for a 3-week trial for $150. After the second week you can decide if you would like to continue with the lunch for the full semester at the rate of $150/month.

Cathedral Choir
In 2024 the St. Mary’s Cathedral Choir expanded to include high school. Nativity students are invited to join and should contact Dr. Christoph Tietze for an audition.
The choir meets three days per week before school at 7:30am. They perform at the school Masses, special events and at St. Mary’s Cathedral Sunday Mass once per month.
