Curriculum
The curriculum consists of a variety of experiences planned for pupils at each grade level. It is of on-going concern and is constantly evaluated by the staff. Religion classes hold a priority position since ours is a Catholic School. It is expected that all students participate in this class regardless of their religion.
Included in the curriculum are: Religion, Reading, Language, Spanish, Spelling/Vocabulary, Writing, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Music/Band, Art, Physical Education, and Computer Education.
Technology
Visitation Catholic School is committed to combining technology with a restructured learning environment to prepare our students for the 21st century. This commitment includes proper use of technological tools and skills in an active and enriching classroom and lab experience for each student--one that enhances learning, instruction, and management. Computers are integrated into the curriculum to teach/reinforce skills and concepts.
Students have networked access to Internet as directed by the teacher and individually as authorized by the parents in accordance with the Acceptable Use Policy. The Technology Coordinator assists the teachers and students in their classrooms as well as in the Computer Lab.
