| Kindergarten |
| For kindergarten a
child needs to be ready for the program and by law must be 5
years old by August 31. The
kindergarten curriculum is designed to meet spiritual and
developmental needs of each child. The formal core curriculum
follows the
Diocese of Raleigh
Catholic Curriculum and Guidelines and the North Carolina
Curriculum Standards. The curriculum includes Religion, Reading
and Language Arts, Phonics, Math, Science and Social Studies.
Students will also participate in electives such as Physical
Education, Primary or Choral Music, Suzuki Violin, Art, Library
skills, Spanish and Computer Technology. |

| Grades 1-5

| In the first through fifth grades the elementary curriculum
continues to build on the strong foundation established in
Kindergarten. In addition, a computer skills curriculum is
taught to prepare students to use computer technology for school
work and to develop skills integrated throughout the core
curriculum, in problem solving and data collecting. Students
continue with the full selection of elective subjects. Our
standardized testing program consists of the Iowa Test of Basic
Skills, Riverside Writing Test, Cog -At Test and Algebra.

The Middle School Program offers a departmentalized approach to
instruction. Students are assigned a home room class and begin
the day with a Religion Lesson, then rotate to other instructors
to meet core curriculum requirements in Math, Science, Language
Arts and Social Studies. The curriculum is further enhanced by
Computer Technology which is integrated throughout the core
subjects and taught weekly in the lab setting. Students
participate in Physical Education classes twice a week and
courses in Spanish, Art, Creative Music, Band and Suzuki Violin. |
