Holy: Mass at least once a month, also offered after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays but not enforced; prayer before every class and in the morning/afternoon but feels like students are not engaged; service hours completed by by students; religious symbols throughout the building; Christian Outreach class; students pray in the chapel; adoration on Friday
Catholic: students come from 9 different countries 
Apostolic: theology classes educate about the Catholic faith; Catholic values are otherwise not really enforced; many students are unaware about basic Catholic knowledge; information is only taught to be tested on not to actually inform and be absorbed; too much work to be able to actually be engaged in the faith
