Catholic schools continue to surge in popularity. According to US News, enrollment grew 0.3% in 2022-2023 compared to the previous year. This is due to the exceptional Catholic school curriculum, where your child will learn academic basics, such as reading, math, and have a deep moral formation. Let's take a deeper look.
Faith Formation
Catholic faith formation remains a core component of the Catholic school curriculum. Our students engage in a comprehensive study of the Bible, tenets of the faith, sacraments, prayer, lives of saints, the liturgical year and virtues. Virtue education is integrated into all classes, starting from Pre-Kindergarten. The sacramental life of the school includes weekly Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, praying of the Most Holy Rosary, and frequent reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Respect
Catholic school curriculum goes far beyond academics. Teachers and other staff emphasize a child's moral character, encouraging respect. Children are also taught excellent manners in the classroom. They are taught to respect each other, the space around them, themselves, and adults.
Academics
Children learn core subjects such as reading, math, science, history, grammar, etc. However, the rigorous academic curriculum often exceeds that of other schools. Small class sizes give teachers more flexibility to use various teaching methods, meeting the students' various academic needs. The curriculum aims to instill a strong culture of reading and writing, with younger students learning reading through mastery of phonetic sounds and older students building upon their foundational ideas, orally and in writing.
Leadership
Catholic school curriculum is carefully designed to help today's children become tomorrow's leaders. Children receive various opportunities to showcase their leadership skills, including class projects, research papers, recitations, and more. Individual projects help children learn presentation skills.
Discipline
Catholic schools believe in personal responsibility and discipline. Students are often responsible for their things, such as their homework, at an early age. Teachers have consistent rules, boundaries, and consequences. This helps students know how to act in various situations and what is expected of them.
