Our students receive twice-weekly instruction in P.E., Music, and Spanish, and Library and Art lessons once weekly. STEM, Robotics, and Coding are also taught in many classrooms. Our Catholic values provide the foundation of everything we do. Our curriculum, technology, enrichment programs, extra-curricular activities, and athletics are all deeply rooted in our faith. We work as partners with parents in teaching our children. Our pastor, Fr. Jim Theby, is a frequent visitor in all the classrooms and is an example of faith in action.
