ACADEMICS
Overview
Frassati Catholic Academy is defined by the strength of the 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 occurs 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 that aligns with rigorous academic standards, students can explore the arts through music, art classes, and the study of Spanish. The well-rounded, inquiry-based approach to education calls students to active learning that focuses on questioning, evaluation, discovery, creation, and moral decision-making. Our students are challenged to think critically and creatively.
