The St. Vincent de Paul School
curriculum is developed through continual reflection of our
mission statement and use of School-wide Student Learning
Expectations, the Archdiocesan guidelines, state standards and
professional experience of the faculty. St. Vincent’s curriculum
provides for the harmonious development of the student’s
spiritual, moral, physical, emotional and intellectual growth.
St. Vincent's
provides a program which includes classes in the following
subjects: Religion, Reading, Integrated Language Arts,
Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Music Physical Education,
Library Skills and Computer Education. Students at all grade
levels receive art instruction from volunteer Art Docent
instructors. Extra-curricular opportunities include student
crew, yearbook, newspaper, drama, math team, speech team, select
choir, speech team, and band.
St. Vincent's is a
multi-graded elementary school and our schedule is unique.
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.
Intermediate students then travel in two-grade level groupings
in the afternoon for science, social studies, and religion;
primary students travel in grade level groupings in the
afternoon for science, social studies, and religion Because of
our schedule, the intermediate curriculum is on a two-year cycle
for some subjects. All students are in grade level groupings for
math. Kindergarten and first grade are self-contained classes
where the foundations of our programs are established.
More information on
our curriculum and two-year cycle for grades 5-8 is included in
our curriculum guide.
