We also endeavor to offer a curriculum that will include activities appropriate for the student at all levels of intellectual development. Our basic skills are augmented by outside activities which include speech, compensatory education and remedial reading. We enrich our already existing programs by offering courses in computer science, Spanish and library science. We meet the requirements of a systematic program of physical development by promotion of healthful practices, introduction and participation in active sports. This is done to develop a satisfactory state of health, a physically fit body, a mature understanding of recreation and to stress the qualities of sportsmanship, leadership, cooperation and fair play.
Modern education regards curriculum development as an unending activity.
As the needs of the students change, new curricula are continuously under consideration and existing curricula are regularly up dated. Curricula must be reviewed and revised even more rigorously than physical facilities. Regular curriculum meetings provide the teachers on various levels with an opportunity to identify the stages of learning. Than we adjust and adapt our curriculum to the development and growth process of the children through the grades, guided by a diocesan outline which is based on the concept of new material introduced-reviewed and reinforced and mastered. A frequent interchange of ideas and new methods shared by colleagues and book companies alike add to a continuous revision and updating of our curriculum.
