Be like children of the light for the effects of the light are seen in complete goodness and right living and truth.

Ephesians 5:9-10

Early Childhood Education Program

A separate handbook outlines the instructional program for children aged three through five who are involved in the Saint Anselm Early Childhood Program.

Kindergarten

The students in Kindergarten receive instruction in religion, readiness activities in handwriting, phonics, mathematics and reading, as well as English/language arts, health, art, music, Spanish, computer, physical education, science and social studies.

Grades One through Six

Students at each grade level receive instruction in religion, English/language arts, mathematics, reading, phonics, spelling, penmanship, science/health and social studies. In addition, instruction in Spanish, art, music, computer, and physical education is given weekly. Some classes may be taught on a departmental basis.

Grades Seven and Eight

Students in Junior High receive instruction in religion, English/language arts, mathematics, reading, science/health, Spanish, and social studies. Instruction in computer, art, music, and physical education is given weekly. Classes are taught on a departmental basis.

Computer

Computer integration is encouraged in all grades. Enrichment opportunities and applications of the computer are provided in all areas of the curriculum. Structured computer classes are held for students in grades K through 8, and the computer lab is available for student use under the direction of the computer teacher or classroom teacher. 

Phonics

Phonics remains an integral part of the language arts curriculum.  We believe that it ensures the success of the reading program in our school.  Additional approaches (Wilson method, Phonics Dance, PALS for decoding, Repeated Reading) are also used as we adapt to the educational needs of all students.

Copies of curriculum guidelines for all subjects are available in the principal's office.
