Students in our lower school intermediate classrooms are encouraged to become increasingly independent. Small classes ensure individualized, differentiated instruction.
A leveled, guided reading program accommodates the needs of each learner and strengthens reading independence. Our writing teachers provide whole group, as well as one on one, conferencing to assist each individual's development as a successful writer.
The mathematics curriculum incorporates the use of manipulatives and everyday applications. An Advanced Math enrichment program is offered to students in grades 3-5.
We provide an inquiry based science program which incorporates a 90 minute laboratory session every other week. Lab is team taught by our science lab teacher and the classroom teacher biweekly for all students in grades 3-8.
Daily prayers and religious instruction is built into the school day. Students in grades 2-5 attend a weekly mass in our parish Church.
