Lady Margaret Roper School

A Classical Preparatory School
In the Roman Catholic Tradition

The Lady Margaret Roper School invites well qualified students between ages 12 and 18 to apply for admissions for the 2006-2007 school year. The School, located at the College of St. Thomas More in Fort Worth, is faithful to the teachings and intellectual tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. We seek to develop the intellect and character through academics, personal growth, and athletics.

About the School
The school is a classical college preparatory school in which the study of the classical languages is the heart of the academic program. Latin is required of all students, and Classical Greek is available. We offer an integrated program of Liberal Studies. Our teachers and administrators assist parents in developing knowledge and love for the Catholic Faith in their children,  in giving each student a true and objective moral compass. We teach responsibility and seek to inspire a life long love of learning based upon that wonder which belongs to the realization that truth, beauty, and God exist. Your children will be introduced to the philosophical conversation which began in Athens and continues today in schools and colleges dedicated to the principles of Classical and Christian learning.

We place particular emphasis on welcoming home-schooled children to participate in the life of the institution.

Prayer
Used before Meditation, Study or Spiritual Reading
MY GOD, I firmly believe that Thou art here present and I humbly adore Thee in union with the angels and saints. I am sorry for having sinned, because Thou art infinitely good and sin displeases Thee.

I love Thee above all things and with my whole heart. I offer Thee all that I am and all that I have - my soul with all its faculties, my body with all its senses.

Enlighten my understanding and inflame my will, that I may know and do what is pleasing to Thee. I beseech Thee to direct all the powers of my soul, all my thoughts and affections to Thy service and Thy glory as well as to my own sanctification and salvation.
Amen.
