Curriculum
Our Lady of the Assumption offers a 
curriculum that follows Archdiocesan core curriculum guidelines for all students. Religious Studies form the heart of our program, and we are committed to promoting our children’s Catholic identity with daily, systematic instruction in all aspects of the Catholic Faith. Our curriculum is characterized by a focus on thinking skills, responsibility, and a vision of excellence that will offer children the chance to develop their minds, hearts and bodies. Academic subjects include Language Arts (English, Reading, Spelling or Vocabulary, and Handwriting), Math (including Algebra) Science, Social Studies, Art, Physical Education (PE), Computers, and Music. World Languages have been introduced and classes are scheduled in the computer lab using the Rosetta Stone library of interactive language-learning software.
