Curriculum and Programs

 

We are a multi-graded elementary school. Homerooms for students in grades two through eight are composed of two grade levels. Students in these classes have a homeroom-based teacher for reading and language arts, and then travel during the day from teacher to teacher for math, science, social studies, and religion. Our students take music, physical education, and library classes; computer technology is integrated into our academic classes. Our kindergarten and first grades are self-contained classes where the foundations of our programs are established.

We provide opportunities for students to develop leadership skills through our spirit assemblies, school family activities, yearbook, and Student Council. Each homeroom is involved in planning a school liturgy. Our sixth graders attend Camp Thunderbird, an outdoor school, for five days. Our junior high students help the first graders with academics and activities. Field trips and assemblies enrich our curriculum programs.

With our Respect and Responsibility Program for Discipline, we expect students to respect others, their property, and school rules. We also expect students to take responsibility for their actions. We emphasize Gospel values, reconciliation, and following Jesus, the model for our students, faculty, and school.
