Our Saviour Lutheran Handbook, Upper School Edition Curriculum Reading Programs Reading Lists Testing At Our Saviour Lutheran, we make a concerted effort to go beyond the curriculum prescribed by the New York State Board of Education. This strategy includes intensive reading and writing in every subject as well as instruction in the fine arts. Every grade is assigned two classrooms to this end.
Students also participate in reading programs in the home with their parents.
The High School curriculum is centered around traditional survey courses, fostering a more professional, serious attitude toward study. This curriculum is tempered with classes in Music and Visual Art. Extensive outside reading is required of every student as well. Top Lower School Reading Programs at Our Saviour depend on the active participation of both the parent and student in reading. For example, for every ten, twenty, or thirty weeks' participation in PARP, the student receives a book of his or her choice as a reward, attains a place on the PARP honor roll list and gets his or her name in Our Saviour's newsletter.
