Academics

We pride ourselves is providing a 21st century Catholic education in which skills such as collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity are fostered in each child. Our teachers and classrooms provide a nurturing, safe, and faith-based environment where every child is challenged to succeed.

We use a variety of data to layer students and create individualized instruction. Teachers meet students at their level with curriculum that enables students to feel both challenged and successful.

Our teachers participate in ongoing professional development that allows them to stay at the forefront of research-based best practices.

Our students and teachers also use technology as a tool for teaching and learning. From Promethean Boards and Apple TV in each classroom, iPads and laptops in the primary grades, we view technology as a tool to help students think critically and globally.

Starting with the 2011-12 academic year, the State Board of Education adopted the use of a new methodology for determining a school's grade, A-F. Since incorporating this model, Saints Francis & Clare School has consistently received an "A" rating from the State of Indiana. We are proud to boast this rating as it reflects our commitment to academic excellence.
