Academics

Saint Michael School offers strong academics consisting of: Religion, Reading (phonetic/whole language), Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Computers, Spanish, Physical Education, Art, Library Studies

Elementary Program (Grades 1-4)

Our elementary curriculum features daily religion classes. The Spaulding Reading Method is used to teach reading phonetically. Teachers use a traditional teaching approach with a variety of opportunities for students to learn from one another. Students are exposed to a variety of different activities in order to spark the various gifts God has given each of us.

Middle School Program (Grades 5-8)

The middle school is divided into two teams, consisting of two main teachers. One team consists of the fifth and sixth grade. The other team is the seventh and eighth grade. While each teacher teachers his/her own religion class, one teacher on each team is responsible for all the Math and Science while the other is responsible for Social Studies and Language Arts. Writing is emphasized throughout all curricula.

Technology is a large part of the overall curriculum. While the students have one scheduled period per week in the computer lab, many projects are coordinated in cooperation with the technology teacher, the media specialist and the classroom teacher. The integration of technology and library research skills creates an exciting learning experience for the students and gives first-hand examples the value of collaborative learning..
