3rd-5th Grade
Welcome to the Intermediate Grade Levels!
Third, Fourth, and Fifth grade classrooms are located on the 3rd floor of our building where the hallways are filled with laughter, problem solving, and relationship building! With an average class size of 25 and regular support from classroom aids, students receive balanced support and attention in their learning environment. The integration of faith and academic excellence supports not only intellectual development but also fosters curiosity and critical thinking. Diverse learning needs are met with compassion and early intervention when necessary.
Third Grade
Third graders receive the core subjects of reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and faith formation. They also have weekly specialist including PE, Art, Library, Music, and Spanish class. Third grade is where students receive access to iPads with an attached keyboard so they can start the Keyboarding program.
