ART

The art curriculum of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is based on the National Standards for Art Education introducing each grade to the elements and principles of art. Students explore their creativity by experiencing a wide range of artists and their styles, media and techniques. The objective for these guidelines is to introduce and develop art skills while incorporating the elements of art and principles of design. It is suggested that this be achieved by familiarizing students with artists and art history. Our mission is to build an appreciation of art, teach skills, encourage confidence and creativity in producing art, and prepare students for high school art classes.
 

TECHNOLOGY

Focusing on practical strategies  empowering students with the tools to navigate our ever changing digital world.  Students in grades PreK3 through 8th grade attend weekly instruction on use of devices including iPads, chromebooks and robots.  Students discover real-world examples and methods for integrating these tools into their current curriculum to unlock the potential of personalized learning. Instruction focuses on boosting student engagement, and creating meaningful learning experiences that inspire a love of learning.
 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

As Catholic Educators, we are committed to teaching the whole child - academically, spiritually and physically. Through the physical education program students will be encouraged to grow, challenge themselves, and foster their individual talents to be the best Christians they can be. Teaching the value of physical activity and its contribution to a healthy, active lifestyle is integral to our goal of lifelong fitness.
