Those who teach at Holy Innocents live out the school s mission on a daily basis in and out of the classroom. They regard teaching as an exciting and demanding calling and believe learning is an exhilarating, cooperative experience. The student-teacher ratio is low, and class size allows teachers to meet the needs of individual students. Teachers interact with students in a multitude of ways by serving as coaches, mentors, advisors, and friends. Faculty and students go on yearly retreats to get to know one another outside the classroom.
Faculty members are as eager to learn as the students.
Based on a sequential presentation of skills in language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science, the Lower School emphasizes creative programs in art, music, and drama which stimulate the imagination, while the physical education develops fitness, agility, and sportsmanship. Computer education is an integral part of the program, and technology is recognized as a valuable learning tool. Students participate in service projects to foster community spirit, awareness, acceptance of others, and a true understanding of charity. At holiday seasons, we extend an outreach to families in our community identified by local service agencies as needing a helping hand. Each class adopts referred families and experiences the joy of selecting gifts for each family member.
