Our Curriculum

PreK through 8th grade marks a critical time in a child’s intellectual, social, and emotional development. Saint Patrick Academy believes that the PreK through 8th grade model offers a number of advantages for students.

• The PreK – 8 model provides a safe and nurturing environment. All students are known, loved, and served in our small community.
• Students are encouraged to grow in their faith. The universal truths of the Catholic faith – to love your neighbor, be resilient and respectful, and serve others – benefit all students, regardless of their religious affiliation. Students are exposed to these important truths at a young age, keeping them grounded in strong moral values as they go throughout their lives.
• Students develop leadership skills. Our younger students observe older role models in the building every day, giving them an understanding of the progress of education. Likewise, through initiatives such as our schoolwide buddy program, our older students are held accountable to serve as role models and mentors to their younger peers.
• Students are free to stay children for longer. Free from the influences of a high school, students engage in age appropriate activities in a no-phone environment in which they are encouraged to take risks, be creative, and learn from mistakes. 
• Students are prepared for future transitions. Students leave Saint Patrick Academy with the ability to distinguish between right and wrong and the courage to make the right decision. Students graduate ready to embrace a new high school environment after receiving a strong academic and social foundation.
• Our programs focus specifically on PreK – 8th grade students. All programs and resources are designed to serve students in these formative grades. Whether students attend Saint Patrick Academy for one year or all eleven years, each student is encouraged to grow in faith, academics, leadership, and virtue as a result of their time at our School.
