A St. Michael's education is designed to assist students in developing reflective, creative, and disciplined approaches to learning. In addition, the curriculum is designed to foster positive self-concepts that help students to grow into caring, competent and confident young adults. This is achieved by a dynamic teaching staff incorporating a variety of methodologies in a climate of high expectation with attention to the needs of the individual learner. The Language Arts curriculum is in many ways the centerpiece of our entire program. The curriculum is designed to create students who can read, write and speak articulately, thoughtfully and confidently.
Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of grammar skills with instruction at each grade level.
Students are exposed to a variety of age appropriate literature and writing genres. Students are encouraged to speak publicly in oral presentations in the classrooms, at assemblies, and at the weekly Masses. The students participate in an annual Declamation Day for students in grades seven and eight. The Social Science curriculum complements the Language Arts program by challenging students to think critically and carefully about their society and the world that surrounds them. Students are encouraged to explore themselves and their role as citizens in society.
