SMC SOARS TO NEW HEIGHTS

The development of a child is multifaceted: the intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical, and social dimensions all require care and nurturing for the formation of a healthy child. We recognize this process by utilizing developmentally appropriate teaching practices designed to address the age group served. The Diocesan Curriculum Guide serves as a model for content and pacing at each grade level.

The presentation of the curriculum will be enhanced to incorporate an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Our specific goals are to:

·        help each child find satisfaction in learning;
·        realize that subject matter skills are tools he/she should use in meeting and solving problems;
·        develop self-confidence;
·        think creatively and imaginatively;
·        integrate technology into instruction
·        openly explore new ideas;
·        free the student to explore his/her own resources; and assume responsibility for his/her own learning.
