Dear Guest of the Mount,

Welcome to our annual Open House!

This is always a special day for us as we meet those students who someday soon will carry on our Xaverian Catholictradition of education here in Baltimore. We put a great deal of effort into a program that allows these young menand their families to visit our campus, to have our academic program explained in detail, to see exhibits concerningour activity programs, and most of all, to interact with the Mount men of today, our students, who serve as your guides.

When Brother Bernardine Ridders, C.F.X., secured this piece of property for a school in 1876, he could never haveimagined the Spirit-filled tradition that he was beginning. As we celebrate our 135th school year, we continue totake pains to be true to the mission for which the Mount was founded and which is continued here today onFrederick Avenue. Simply put, the mission of the Mount is to bring forth Christ to the people in the school community.We strive to achieve the mission by providing a solid college preparatory curriculum coupled with a well-developedprogram of athletics and extra-curricular activities. Woven into all that we do, are the values that mirror our belief inthe special dignity given to each by our God.

Someday soon, we hope that many of you who visit us today can help us to write the next chapter in Mount Saint Joseph history, following in the footsteps of those giants who have gone before us, making a difference for good intoday’s world. It is our hope that some of you have the desire to make this your goal after visiting us today.

Please return to the Mount and spend a regular school day with us. See us as we are everyday, so you can make an informed judgement about whether this is the school for you. Enjoy your visit, ask a lot of questions, talk to ourstudents, and come back and see us again. Our prayers go with all of you today, prayers for your success as youapproach this important decision about your education.

Sincerely,

Brother James M. Kelly, C.F.X. Barry J. FitzpatrickPresident Principal

SAT PREPARATION

Mrs. Jo Anne Morgan, M.A., Chairperson Ms. Mary Czar, M.A.T.Mr. James Doherty, M.B.A.Mr. David Dutrow (‘92), M.A.Mr. Michael Hartsfield, M.Ed.Brother James Kelly, C.F.X., M.A.L.S.Mr. Douglas Lambdin, M.S.Mr. Bernd McDivitt, M.Ed.Mr. Dan Peightel (‘78), B.A.Mr. Matthew Perzinski, B.A. Ms. Rachel Richmond, M.Ed.Mr. Ted Rukowicz (‘63), M.Ed.

The goal is to expand to the maximum the types of writing in which a student is proficient. The textThe Bedford Handbook provides many possible choices for writing activities. In addition, studentsare exposed to autobiographies, biographies, memoirs, plays, poetry, editorials, reviews, essays,researched writing, and more. Students then explore some of these types of writings firsthand.

Students are also encouraged to write about their interests and what is important to them.Student writing necessitates looking at grammar, word choice, phrasing, sentence structure, paragraphing, compositional form, and editing.

Novel/play/short story reading: Students read short stories and at least four longer works duringthe school year, typically one per quarter. Students respond to these longer pieces by writing reader-responses, which allow them to record their thoughts, questions, judgments, and feelingson paper. The ideas in the responses are then shared with fellow classmates and the teacher andare used to engender discussion. The goal is to allow students to question texts and use them toquestion the world around them, to explore the possibilities of meaning and significance in thesetexts, and to ultimately broaden their worldviews.

This program focuses on a contextual approach to vocabulary and fosters student-directed vocabulary instruction. The goals of vocabulary instruction are:

1. A better understanding of context clues2. A better knowledge of prefixes, roots, and suffixes3. A better understanding of the importance of etymology (study of word origin)4. A greater curiosity about the English language5. An improved and broadened vocabulary

The following are the texts used in the Freshman Program:

• The Bedford Handbook

This text contains models of types of writing. It also includes a review of grammar, punctuation, usage, and instruction in research paper writing. This book is used by students all four years.

• The American Heritage Dictionary

• Novels/Plays

• Short Stories

• Poetry

Advanced placement courses are available in both languages.

Both the French and Spanish programs have a complete video, audio, and internet programdirectly connected to the present textbooks. These are integrated into the classroom programs.

Latin I, II

Frequently asked quest ions of the Foreign Language department

FAQ’s

Each student must complete two consecutive years of foreign language instruction at Mount SaintJoseph. This means that if he starts here with Spanish I, then he must complete at least Spanish Iand Spanish II while a student here. Should he enter our department at Spanish II, then he must complete Spanish II and Spanish III here.

It is important for students to check the College Handbook before deciding not to take a language beyond the requirement as several colleges recommend three years of instruction in aforeign language.

Only Spanish and French fulfill the foreign language requirement. Latin, while offered, is strictly an elective and does not fulfill the requirement.

If you have had previous language instruction in French or Spanish, you will need to take theForeign Language Placement Exam in the appropriate language. This exam is offered after registration is completed in the spring.

This is not a question that comes with an answer, but it is frequently asked. One should select a language for study with an eye towards past work in that language or towards future academicintentions. Pursue the language that interests you the most, one in which you may have hadsome instruction, one which you feel may help you in your future study.

FAQ’s

Absolutely not! The best program for the majority of college-prep students isthe Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Pre-calculus sequence. Colleges areimpressed if students are well-grounded in the math concepts presented inthese courses.

Various records help to determine a student’s placement in the honors, regular,or basic course of study. Before placement, a careful examination is made ofstandardized test scores, data received from the schools concerning 7th and8th grade math performance and teacher recommendation.

If a student passes our Algebra I Qualifying Test (given in early spring), he willbe placed in Advanced Honors Geometry/Algebra II or Honors Geometry. If hedoes not pass the test, he will be placed in one of the Algebra I levels. We support a challenging and productive math environment but definitely not frustration or failure, which can be a by-product of advancing a student without a firm algebraic foundation.

Yes. He may be enrolled in our 6-week concentrated Algebra I review duringthe summer. If he successfully completes the review, he may retake an Algebra IQualifying Test. If interested, call 410-644-3300 during the first or second week of June.

In the classroom, extensive use is made of hand-held scientific calculators. We are committed to providing our students with aids that promote proficiencyin math skills and evolving technology.

Almost everyday. The length of the assignment may vary from course to course, but a rule of thumb is approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

All freshmen entering the Mount must take Honors Biology, Biology, or Life Biology – Ryken Program. Based on your son’s reading and verbal scores on theentrance exam and his achievement record in science at the middle school level,the school will strongly recommend one of these three courses for your son.Typically, about one-third of our freshmen take Honors Biology, about 5% take LifeBiology, and nearly two-thirds take Biology.

Not at all. To be recommended for Honors Chemistry, a student must have a final grade of “A” in Honors Algebra I or a final grade of “B” or higher in HonorsGeometry/Algebra II. If a student meets these requirements at the end of his freshman year, he may take Honors Chemistry regardless of whether he tookHonors Biology or Biology as a freshman.

Yes. Although this is not done in the freshman and sophomore years, a studentcan take more than one science course in his junior and senior year. Well over60% of our students take all three of the traditional science courses – Biology,Chemistry, and Physics. The number of students that achieve this goal at thenational level is only 18%, so we are quite proud of this statistic.

They do extremely well. AP exams are graded from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highestpossible score. The percentage of our students that receive the highest possiblescore of 5 is consistently two to five times the national average. The fact that all ofour students that take the AP courses are required to take the AP exam (manyschools make the AP exam optional) makes this statistic even more impressive.

The Advanced Placement science courses meet every day of the cycle for one hour.In addition, several times each quarter the Advanced Placement Chemistry class isrequired to complete an after school lab. All other science courses meet every dayfor 45 minutes.

Campus Ministry provides a vehicle by which all members of the Mount Saint Joseph communityare invited to share their faith journey and experiences with others through retreats, Christianservice, prayer, and sacramental celebrations. The office is located on the first floor of Xavier Hall.The Director of Campus Ministry is Mr. Clay Bonham. Our school Chaplain is Fr. Michael Murphy (‘82).

• Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior retreat programs• Junior Service-Learning experience• Culture of Life Week each October• Thanksgiving Food Drive each November• Partners in Prayer (formally FCA) weekly meetings and monthly activities• X-ACT Service Club

Our full-time school chaplain, Fr. Michael Murphy (‘82), plans school liturgies and prayer servicesthroughout the school year. Mass is offered once a week to all on campus in our school chapel.Individual Religion classes attend Mass throughout the year on a rotating basis.

Freshmen One retreat at the beginning of the year. The retreat is on campus and three days in length. The Freshmen also participate in a day of service at Our Daily Bread, a soup kitchen in Baltimore City.

Sophomore One day they go to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. The follow-up day is here on campus.

Junior Msgr. O’Dwyer Retreat House in Sparks, MD; a three-day, two-night retreat, focusing on the themes of God, family/friends, and self.

Senior Bishop Clagett Retreat Center in Buckeystown, MD; an optional weekend retreat focusing on themes of friendship, reconciliation, and the future.

Normally, students begin their service experience at the beginning of their junior year because the service-learning program is integrated into the Junior Religion curriculum. However, studentsmay begin service during the summer prior to Junior year with the approval of the Director ofCampus Ministry. Service hours accumulated during middle school will not satisfy the Junior service-learning obligation.

Because service-learning requires interaction with the vulnerable in the community, we encouragestudents to engage in service for people in need (children, elderly, the disadvantaged, and dis-abled). Maintenance and clerical work does not provide the reflective dimension and, therefore,cannot be approved.

Students may get involved as members of the Ministry Team which assists with Culture of Life Week,Annual Food Drives, the Social Justice Program, prayer services and other on-campus activities.Students are selected to serve as retreat leaders for junior retreats. Students are also welcome towork with Fr. Michael (‘82) in preparing for our school liturgies, and to serve as lectors, musicians,and singers. Students may also become members of the X-ACT Service Club.
