St. Christopher School Curriculum
The faculty at St. Christopher School believes in the value of learning
both as a process and as a goal. We intend to provide our students with
the skills needed to become lifelong learners. Thus the academic learning
in the following areas is of prime importance:
|
Language Arts |
Religion |
Physical Education |
|
Mathematics |
Health |
| Social Studies |
Computer Education |
| Science |
Music |
| Spanish |
Leadership Training |
| Creative Arts Education |
Study Skills |
Educational opportunities as well as instructional excellence receive
major emphasis in each curricular offering. Teaching strategies include
cooperative learning, hands-on experiences, multi-age projects, drill and
practice, and real life applications structured to meet the needs, talents,
and abilities of all students. Communication skills, team work, technology,
critical thinking, and problem solving skills are emphasized in order to
prepare students for success in the 21st Century.
We invite parents to become actively involved in working with school
personnel to maximize their child's educational opportunities. Since parents
are the first and primary teachers of their children, it is important that
a cooperative relationship be established between home and school, with
the child's best interest being the primary goal.
Religion Experiences
At St. Christopher School, we strive to assist children in their faith
development in a myriad of ways. Some of these include beginning each day
with prayer and daily religion classes. Children in second and fourth grades
are prepared for the sacraments of First Eucharist and Reconciliation.
Students also help plan and participate in school Masses, school prayer
services, and paraliturgies. It is our goal to help our students develop
a sense of social responsibility which we hope will continue during their
high school and adult lives. We provide many service opportunities to encourage
them. |
