Grades 1-5 prepare the students on their journey for excellence in the elementary years. Teachers continue to use the child’s motivation to help them become well developed students not only in the classroom, but as active members in the community. Building respect for God, self, and others is the foundation of the elementary classroom. In addition to good character, grades 1-5 inspire excellence in the classroom through a variety of academic programs which include daily instruction, all the while assuming personal responsibility.
Grades 1-5 continue kindergarten’s commitment to growth through the integration of the following:
- Uniforms that allow students to take pride in their appearance
- Quarterly report cards
- Music lesson and children’s choir
- Junior Varsity athletics
- Curriculum enhanced field trips
- Continued character education through peer ministry
- Departmentalized instruction
- Latin and D.A.R.E (grade 5)
- Sacramental programs including First Penance and Eucharist in grades 2 and 3, as well as altar server training in grade 5
