School Curriculum

 

To continue to strengthen the development of excellence in curriculum and instruction:

  • by continuing the infusion of Catholic Social Teaching into our new Social Studies series and throughout other subject areas.
     
  • by encouraging students to be lifelong readers through the implementation of Sustained Silent Reading (SSR), our newly reopened library, literature circles, and various other school-wide activities.
     
  • by striving for a more individualized approach to teaching math through the use of a more hands-on approach and smaller class sizes.
     
  • by using writing across the curriculum to enhance the usage of proper grammar and appropriate grade level mechanics.
     
  • by implementing the new diocesan fine arts standards, goals and assessments.
     
  • by using exploration, content reading and individual projects to enrich the science curriculum
     
  • by constantly searching for "best practice" ideas that will enhance classroom instruction.

 

About

St. Isidore was a farm hand. He was born near Madrid, Spain in 1070. He attended mass every morning at a Madrid church before he set out for work as a farm laborer.  Isidore and his wife vowed celibacy in gratitude for a miracle which saved their son from drowning in a well. They were known for their holiness and care of the poor. St. Isidore died May 15, 1130. He was canonized with other Spaniards - St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Teresa of Avila on March 12, 1622.
