An independent Catholic preparatory school near Dallas, Texas, educating boys in grades 5-12 in an all-honors curriculum.

In middle school, our students begin their language journey with Latin. By high school, they study either Spanish or French. To connect their language studies with theology, freshmen select a basilica from a Spanish or French-speaking country and create an artistic representation of it.

Happy Thanksgiving from our Cistercian family to yours.

The Form VII retreat brought our juniors together for two days in East Texas to focus on self-reflection, faith, and community.

Every Wednesday, students at Cistercian sign up to showcase their musical talents during Bach’s Lunch—a lunchtime performance series hosted in Founders Hall. This semester, we’ve enjoyed a variety of performances from piano and violin solos to vocal ensembles; it’s a great way to enjoy the middle of the week, music, and lunch together!

Form III had the privilege of touring the Dallas Holocaust Museum. The boys demonstrated exceptional respect, curiosity, and thoughtfulness, readily answering docent questions and asking meaningful ones of their own.
