ACADEMICS
St. Augustine School prides itself on a challenging instructional
program that supports the growth and development of the whole child. From
Nursery through Grade 8, students are presented a traditional curriculum of core subjects – Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies – while integrating
the special subject areas of Art, Music, Physical Education, Technology, and Library. Chinese is taught in
Grades K-2. French and Spanish are taught in Grades 6-8.
As a faith
community, we teach, value, and embrace the tenets of our Catholic faith while encouraging
students to live the Gospel message. Daily Religion classes and school-wide
prayer experiences provide the foundation for our faith journey.
Support services and enrichment opportunities are provided in our Math and Reading
Labs. Our school Guidance Program helps students and their families meet everyday
challenges by providing them with life skills and community-building experiences.
Annually our students are administered the McMillan-McGraw Hill Terra Nova test, a national,
norm-referenced exam which, along with daily classroom work and long-term projects, is a useful instrument in assessing the progress of our students.
