Academics/Curriculum
Our school has a
very strong academic program that prepares
students well for future educational
experiences. High
standardized test scores and positive
reports we receive from local high schools
support this perception. In addition,
we strive to help students to develop a
life-long love of learning and the ability
to transfer skills that they learn in school
to daily life. Teachers use a variety
of instructional and assessment strategies,
including differentiated instruction, to
help each student reach his or her potential
as a learner.
We place a
strong emphasis on the ability of our
students to make appropriate use of
technology to create quality products.
Students at all levels work with
computer applications that allow for them to
expand their base of knowledge and express
their creativity.
Our teachers
hold high expectations of their students and
strive to insure that each student reaches
his or her learning potential. Teachers
actively seek current instructional
strategies that help them to meet individual
student needs. This focus on
individual student needs often leads to the
use of differentiated instruction
strategies. In addition, teachers
attempt to provide a variety of assessment
opportunities through which students can
"Show what they
know."

Vision of the
Graduate of St. Germaine
We expect that graduates of St. Germaine
School will develop a positive attitude
toward leaning and will be able to transfer
their knowledge to new situations throughout
their lives. The academic and
interpersonal skills they acquire here will
help them reach their potential, and take
responsibility for their own learning.
Graduates will
be confident in their role as learners, problem solvers, and
decision makers. They will have the ability to gather
information from a variety of sources; to communicate clearly in
speech and writing; to perform computations sufficient for daily
problem solving. They will work well in cooperative group
situations having developed a sense of self-esteem.
Students will
accept their role as members of the Church. Their daily lives
will give witness to the Christian values of kindness, generosity,
respect, charity and tolerance. They will have a sense of
their own worth and of the worth of others. Their Catholic
faith will be the primary guide in the life decisions they must
make. They will be known as Christians because of their love
of God and God's people. |
