About the Program

Education in faith remains the primary goal, as students are presented with an overview of the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes. Scripture readings are used to guide the students to live a life closer to God. In addition, students study the Our Father, lives of Mary and different saints to use as models of faith. Students also attend weekly mass, a monthly Stewardship program, and participate in Family Life.

Students expand their vocabulary through weekly reading of fiction and nonfiction stories. They also focus on phonemic awareness, using correct grammar through daily practice, fluency through oral reading, spelling, writing expository, narrative, and descriptive texts, and comprehensive skills such as summarizing, fact/opinion, main idea, and drawing conclusions.

Students solve problems using various strategies, multiply and divide whole numbers, explore principles of geometry including area and perimeter, expand their knowledge of fractions, learning about measurement in standard and metric units, analyze data on charts and create charts as well, learn about probability and statistics, and work on daily problem solving.
