Queen of Angels'
well-balanced curriculum focuses on teaching students
the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors needed for
daily living. A liberal arts approach enables
each child to become an independent and self-motivated
learner, while appreciating and experiencing the
value of interdependence and cooperative learning.
Real world experience is integrated into the curriculum
through visits and lectures by relatives and community
guest speakers and field trips. Religious values permeate the curriculum.
The Queen of Angels Catholic School curriculum
is designed to meet and exceed the minimum standards
established under state law. Curriculum design incorporates
individual growth, team learning, hands-on activities
and projects, and cooperative presentations, as
well as delivery of facts through lecture and guided reading. Courses
include religion, reading, language arts, mathematics,
science, social studies, music, art, drama,
library, wellness, physical education and computer
education. Students at every grade level keep
a daily journal.
At Queen of Angels Catholic School,
we are as concerned with how students learn as
with what they learn. Our programs sequentially
tailor teaching methods and hands-on learning
experiences as developmentally appropriate. We customize instruction.
Early
Childhood Program
Toddler 2, Pre-Kindergarten, Pre-Kindergarten
Zoom, and Kindergarten comprise our Early Childhood
Curriculum. This program meets the academic, physical,
and social emotional needs of small children,
while allowing them, when appropriate, to mix
with older students. The Early Childhood Curriculum
recognizes and supports children's growth patterns.
Learning centers are a prime teaching method.
Play is also valued for learning, thinking, communication,
and cooperation. Children experience God as our Father and Jesus as our Savior through song, prayer and community worship.
Primary Program
Students in grades 1,2,3, and
4 receive a strong academic foundation. Children
are taught to read using both traditional phonics
and whole language methods. Everyday Math
teaches students to reason and apply mathematics
to solving everyday problems. Natural and social
sciences encourage children to explore, discover,
and invent solutions to problems. Faith fundamentals, personal prayer and participation at Mass are integral to our program. |
