Academic Program
Faculty and administration recognize the academic, social, spiritual, and cultural differences embodied in each student. We believe each child is special and capable of performing according to his/her individual abilities. In keeping with these beliefs, we work together to design and implement a curriculum that leads each child down successful pathways of learning.
The curriculum is designed around continuity, consistency, and the relationship between academic objectives 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.
The educational program at St. Pius V School for pre-kindergarten through grade 8 will provide opportunities so that every student:
- will achieve the ability to read, comprehend, and express ideas and feelings through oral and written language. They will be able to think critically and assess situations independently and accurately.
