As they are formed in virtue, our elementary students (Grades 1-5) continue to build upon the foundation of the core academic programs that will prepare them for middle school. In first grade they begin the historical sequence outlined in the curriculum overview that sets them on their path through our whole program.
Elementary school witnesses an evolution in the child’s abilities with a growing awareness of the presence of Christ in the Sacraments that they are preparing to receive in 2nd grade. Children begin to learn greater autonomy and experience satisfaction in their own accomplishments. By the 3rd grade, your child is no longer learning to read but reading to learn–an important transition. Students are more responsible for their actions and academic achievements as they ascend toward middle school.
