Our faculty members and students have done an impressive job transitioning to an online educational model. We were prepared and ready to implement distance learning two days after school closed.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we run a daily class schedule. Students must sign in to the class during a specific window of time for attendance and directives. During the class periods there is interactive instruction with a wide variety of delivery methods, including voice-over presentations, lectures, video clips, readings, practice sets, Google meets, etc. Many of these lessons are synchronous sessions which lend variety and connectivity to the digital academic day. During each instructional period mini-assessments are completed by each student and submitted for grading. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the students work independently on content assignments that reinforce the material. Students are encouraged to communicate regularly with teachers and members of the administration if they have any questions or concerns, through our Learning Management System, PowerSchool.

Members of our technology department have worked tirelessly to keep systems running smoothly. They are available every day to troubleshoot problems and assist students and teachers when technology issues do occur. Seniors will continue this schedule until their last day of class, on Thursday, April 23rd. Underclassmen and middle school students will report to online classes through the end of the school year, with the last day being Wednesday, May 20th.

Like all private schools, Mount de Sales students wear a uniform which must be ordered from Lands’ End. During cool weather, official MDS outerwear must be worn while on campus.

We offer morning and afternoon shuttle service for our families in the Warner Robins area. Pick-up and drop-off is at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, with one-way and/or two-way transportation offered. One-way service is $350/annually, two-way is $700/annually.

A supervised extended day program is provided from 3:30-6:00 p.m. in the Academic Resource Center (ARC), our library.

All MDS students take theology classes. Sixth through tenth graders take a full year of theology; juniors and seniors elect semester classes from a wide range of interesting courses, including Holocaust Studies and World Religions. At MDS we are proud of our Catholic heritage and welcome students of all faiths.
