Faith & Reason Series
Reasoning with Evidence. Reflecting with Purpose.
Leading with Courage and Conviction.
Why Faith & Reason?
The Faith & Reason Series gives schools more than a curriculum—it provides a mission-driven solution to one of the greatest needs in Catholic education today. By weaving together scientific rigor and theological depth, this program helps educators meet academic Science standards while also forming students in virtue and faith. With fully prepared lessons, engaging labs, and integrated theological connections, schools can confidently deliver an innovative program that parents will value, students will love, and Catholic identity will shine through.
With the Faith & Reason Series, students explore the mysteries of the natural world and the meaning of their own lives at the same time. Through experiments, discussions, and reflections, they discover that science and faith are not in conflict but in harmony—each revealing new dimensions of truth. This unique experience nurtures curiosity, strengthens confidence, and inspires middle schoolers to grow into thoughtful young leaders who see knowledge as a gift and faith as a compass for life.

Easy Theological Connections for Deep Reflection
Every Faith & Reason Investigation is accompanied by complete lesson plans that relate the precise concepts presented in science class and lab to deep theological questions and issues. Thought-provoking slide sets and Theological Reflection Worksheets couple science discovery to scripture, the Catholic Catechism, the Theology of the Body, and Catholic virtues.
Who's Teaching What?
One Teacher for Both Science & Theology? No problem. The content is organized so you can smoothly move between disciplines. Just follow the guide.
Separate Science and Religion Teachers? Perfect. You can work in parallel or independently. All resources are cross-referenced and ready for easy integration or stand-alone use.
Science Teachers: lead Investigations, labs, and content
Religion Teachers: access Faith & Reason materials and reinforce theological integration
Important Note: This Faith & Reason program is rooted in the Catholic conviction that truth is unified—what we discover through science and what we receive through faith ultimately point to the same reality. To support this integration, each Investigation is designed for students to first encounter the scientific content through hands-on exploration and guided inquiry. Whether science and theology are taught by the same teacher or by different teachers, it is essential that the scientific portion be completed first. The theological reflections that follow are built upon that foundation, helping students see how faith illuminates what they have discovered through reason. This sequence not only deepens understanding, but also forms students to think critically, love truth, and recognize the harmony between God’s creation and His revelation.
