Academics
Our academic program ensures students are given appropriately challenging material. In our ever-changing environment it is important that we create space for students to think critically, work collaboratively and solve problems creatively.
In our academic approach learning objectives are used to plan and develop units of study, classroom learning centers, enrichment activities, and many other aspects of the environment. We analyze data to adjust lesson execution to best meet the needs of all learners.
To apply 21st century skills of solving problems and presenting work, students regularly use the state-of-the-art Makerspace room, dedicated for STREAM learning: Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Math.

Primary (K-2)
St. Henry Catholic School offers solid learning foundation for the first years of formal education starting with Kindergarten through second grade. During these critical developmental years, we offer a nurturing environment to encourage cognitive, emotional, and spiritual growth with grounding in the core subject areas of religion, reading, math, writing, and spelling. Our teachers are Orton-Gillingham trained for basic instruction and use data to inform small group instruction.
Kindergarten is offered as a full day (7:40 am-2:30 pm) or half-day (7:40 am-11 am) program. The kindergarten curriculum is designed to be age-appropriate and child-centered so that the basic skills can be mastered by the early learner.
