Programs and Academics
Curriculum standards and objectives are developed by the Diocese of St. Augustine and are implemented and reviewed on a continuing basis. We are a Catholic school committed to spiritual and academic excellence at all levels.
Grades K through 4 are self contained classrooms. Students attend weekly enrichment classes in Art, Library, Music, Spanish, and Physical Education under the direction of specialty teachers. Grades 3 and 4 attend a computer class weekly.
Grade 5 is partially departmentalized in preparation for middle school. Two teachers teach the core subjects: Religion, Reading, Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science. Fifth graders attend weekly enrichment classes including Computers.
Middle school grades 6 through 8 are departmentalized for the core subjects. Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are on block scheduling with classes meeting for double periods every other day. Block scheduling provides longer periods for skills development and in-depth study of content. Religion and Literature are taught daily for 45 minutes. The daily Literature class reinforces the habit of daily reading for life-long learning and enjoyment. Middle school students attend enrichment classes: Art, Computers, Music, Physical Education and Spanish.
The convent of the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother is part of the Assumption Parish campus. The sisters are very involved in the education of students and contribute to the religious instruction at all grade levels.
