ACADEMICS

Overview

 

Frassati Catholic Academy - Elementary & Middle School is defined by the strength of community that exists between students, teachers and parents who work together for the well-being of the children.  We provide a welcoming, nurturing environment that serves as the backdrop for a holistic approach to education.  Learning takes place in a disciplined environment that promotes individual expression, collaboration, inquiry and personal responsibility. 

Our curriculum includes religious education, mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, and physical education. In addition to a curriculum which aligns with rigorous academic standards, students have the opportunity to explore the arts through music and art classes as well as the study of Spanish.  The well-rounded, inquiry based approach to education calls students to active learning that focuses on questioning, evaluation, discovery, and creation, as well as  moral decision making. Our students are challenged to think critically and creatively.
