Our Academic Pillars
Biblical Foundation:
Our students experience the Word of God not only in their Religion classes, but also through every class taught from a biblical perspective. Our faith is woven into all aspects of learning, fostering both academic and spiritual growth. In addition to what they learn in Religion class, students receive spiritual nourishment by attending daily Mass, and participating in a school-wide Rosary every week. This gives students a chance to focus on developing a personal walk with God. For more information regarding our integrated faith, view our Faith Formation page.
Challenging Curriculum:
Elementary students learn in primarily self-contained classrooms, where core subjects—reading, language arts, math, science, social studies, and religion —are enriched with art, music, physical education, library, and Spanish. Middle school students rotate daily through six academic classes including math, science, history, grammar, language arts, and theology. They enjoy physical education, art, music, and Spanish. The smaller class sizes of our school allow our teachers to provide more individualized attention.
Partnership with Parents:
With the FACTS Family Portal, parents can monitor their child’s grades as well as attendance, announcements, and upcoming events. Any time you have a question or want an update about your child, our teachers are happy to set up a time to meet with you and make sure everyone is on the same page. We also work closely with parents to support each child’s growth in faith, responsibility, and positive behavior. At parent-teacher conferences, held twice a year, you’ll see what your child has been learning and find out what’s coming up next.
Student Assessments:
As part of the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools, we administer the STAR test—computer-adaptive assessments that provide quick, reliable data on student progress in Reading, Math, and Literacy three times each year. Students in grades 2–8 also take the ARK (Assessment of Religious Knowledge), which measures both their understanding of the Catholic faith and how they live it daily. By evaluating content knowledge and attitudinal values, the ARK emphasizes that nurturing a child’s faith is a collaborative effort between school and home.
