The strongly
integrated curriculum enhances opportunities for spiritual, academic,
artistic, musical, technological and physical development.
Such a curriculum is challenging and goal-oriented. It employs
methods, tools, and technology that is reasonable and appropriate to
each child's age and development. Our curricula
teaches concepts appropriate to the child's grade level and ability and
concepts are built upon information learned from previous years.
All areas of the curriculum are introduced, developed, mastered or
maintained depending on the grade. The students are assessed in many
ways both formally and informally through observation, class
participation, homework, projects, quizzes, and tests. As you
review our curriculum, you will see that teaching children is important
to us.
The strength of our curriculum is validated by various measures. IOWA
Test of Basic Skills scores demonstrate academic achievement well above
the national average. Many of our middle school students qualify for the
John Hopkins Talent Search. The Spanish program from kindergarten through grade 8,
creates cultural awareness and exposes our students to beginning Spanish
language skills. A computer teacher, a fully equipped computer lab, and
computers in every classroom enhance technology integration throughout
the curriculum. Finally, our school boasts a full sized gymnasium.
We know that Our Heavenly Father has a plan for your children.
The collaborative work between parents and teachers is sure to be
seen when the children are ready for their life's work. The children can
say with enthusiastic readiness as Samuel did, "Speak Lord, for your
servant is listening" (Samuel 3:10) in the tradition of excellence
which is the hallmark of a Catholic education.
