Our academic programs are focused on continuous improvement, addressing the needs of all students in the school community. There are three phases of this process.

The first phase is data driven. The results of standardized testing and other screening instruments provide valuable information to identify the needs of our students.

The second phase of this process involves researching and identifying programs and practices that will address these needs in the classroom.

The third phase of the process involves providing professional development for teachers to learn and implement “best practices” that will address the needs of St. Pius students.

It is an exciting time in education. There is so much information available to teachers about learning styles and teaching methodologies to help students. The curriculum programs at St. Pius are products of this process and students are the beneficiaries of this commitment. St. Pius has researched and implemented “best practices” in education to support student growth and success.

Developing early skills is essential for students to be successful. To that end, programs have been added that make sure our youngest students have the prerequisite skills to ensure success in literacy and mathematics. All these programs support the goal of implementing differentiated instruction and meeting the academic needs of our students.
