CURRICULUM

Each day faculty and administration recognize the spiritual, academic, social, and cultural differences embodied in each student. We believe each child is special and capable of performance according to his/her individual abilities. In keeping with these beliefs, we work together to design and implement curriculum which leads each child down successful pathways of learning. Curriculum is designed around a specific perspective focused on the continuity, and consistency, and the relationship between academic objective and quality instruction. This comprehensive curriculum makes St. Pius V School a place where children find high expectations, a safe, healthy environment, and a warm, faith-filled atmosphere. Of great significance is the enrichment available to each child through sharing in our school and parish communities.
