As part of the Diocese of Metuchen, our curriculum guidelines are prepared by various subject area curriculum councils. The scope and sequence of each subject is the foundation upon which we base our instruction. Our curriculum is supported by the pastor and principal, and is implemented through the professionalism of the staff. Our curriculum supports a Catholic Christian atmosphere that encourages the development of the whole person. It is our hope that this development will extend beyond the individual, into the community as a whole through the responsible leadership and concern for each person.
We, as a faculty, feel that learning begins with basic skills being taught. These skills are needed at various levels and for all disciplines. Through evaluation and testing, the teacher will determine where sufficient compentency of the skill has been achieved before the continuance of the concept can be addressed. Curriculum should present the skills and concepts in each subject through varied methods and procedures, including the use of modern technological advances. Our classroom teaching strives to combine group instruction and individualized help. Additional instruction for students requiring individual help can be provided on a needs basis by the teacher or adjunct staff. Content will be sensitive to the backgrounds and abilities of students, while encouraging self-expression, and establishing patterns for measured growth and standards of excellence.
