Intermediate (Grades 3-5)
Our goal is to deepen skills in core curriculum areas as well as help students develop the essential skills of organization, responsibility, and time management. Holy Spirit provides a safe learning environment that supports social and emotional development. Using morning meetings, group projects, and classroom jobs, students learn personal responsibility and gain a sense of community.
CURRICULUM
Curriculum centers around religion, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. In addition, students have weekly specialist classes in music, physical education, and media literacy.
In 4th and 5th grade, teachers are specialists in a particular area of curriculum. Students have the opportunity to learn from 3-4 teachers each day, each an expert in their area.
