A Strong Start

The learning that happens in elementary school sets an important foundation for the remainder of a child’s academic success. Each child achieves fundamental skills in reading, math, critical reasoning, and more. Science, technology, engineering and math skills are included but not at the expense of literacy and creativity.  All lessons go hand in hand.  Young learners transition from learning to read to reading to learn and develop a measure of independence which leads to confidence.

Our school is a happy environment. They make friends and have time to play where they develop social and teamwork skills. Teachers make sure children feel known, supported and loved.  They thrive in a comfortable atmosphere where both learning and play occur. 

Moral foundations are also emphasized.  Even the youngest children begin to grasp the importance of loving our neighbor, kindness, respect and the idea of a loving God.

As a Catholic school, religious education is present and available. For Catholic families, we offer preparation for the sacraments in accordance with our local priests. Families who are not Catholic appreciate the warm, healthy, loving Christian atmosphere. Many parents who choose our school feel it is very important to raise their children with a strong, moral foundation along with other families who feel the same.

Primary Grades 1, 2, and 3

Primary grades continue the momentum begun in the early childhood years. Our children gain knowledge, skills and values necessary to thrive in the 21st century. Confident, resilient children who have a strong sense of right and wrong are developed in these early grades through:

  • Independent and critical thinking activities
  • Communication skill practice in speaking, listening, writing
  • Team-building approaches to learning
  • Introduce and utilize the STREAM Program
  • Music, art, and physical education
  • Sports and extra-curricular activities
  • Handwriting training in both manuscript and cursive. (Yes, we still teach it!)
  • Skill-building in becoming self-directed learners
  • For Catholic students, Sacrament preparation is available

 


Intermediate Grades 4 and 5

Upper elementary grades prepare students for moer complex work ahead. The amount of fundamental knowledge acquired in the intermediate grades is amazing. From the times tables to self-control, from decoding to conscience-forming, from composition to Christian values the students build every aspect of their lives.

Toward that goal the intermediate grades:

  • Use a strong, unified, common curriculum that links grade by grade
  • Make interdisciplinary learning and cross-curricular instruction possible
  • Make flex grouping easier
  • Introduce and utilize the STREAM Program
  • Build solid foundation for Christian students
