Curriculum

Every student's education at Sacred Heart School is a three way partnership between the parents, school and students. This partnership is critical to the overall success of our students. We all have a stake in assuring that our students are prepared for high school which, in turn, will lead them to the college of their choice.  We strive to educate the whole child, and our curriculum supports this ideal:


 


Religion: Religious instruction forms the basis of the total development of the student.  All students are required to participate in all religion classes, liturgical preparations and church services.


Language:  English, Reading, Spelling, Phonics, and Writing provide the basic tools for gaining knowledge and understanding of the spiritual, educational, social and vocational experiences of life.  These skills are correlated with all other subjects.


Math:  Our Math program is designed to help each student learn the basic mathematical structures, language and principals in order to develop skills in computation, use of vocabulary and symbols, reading and interpreting data, measuring and solving problems.


Science and Health:  The Science program gives students an understanding of the basic truths of nature and man's relationship to them.  Health imparts to the students an understanding of the importance of physical well-being.


Social Studies:  The goal of this program is to develop knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes necessary for effective citizenship in our society.


Physical Education:  Physical Education provides an opportunity to learn the importance of exercise to maintain a healthy body.


Art & Music:  These programs encourge creative potential.


Technology:  This program teaches computer literacy and software applications to help prepare students for a high technology future.


Spanish:  We offer Spanish as an introduction to the lower grades and build throughout the grades to prepare students for high school.
