CLASSICAL CURRICULUM

Discovering the Good, True, and Beautiful Through Education
At St. John Paul II Catholic School, our curriculum follows a Classical approach, emphasizing a rich, well-rounded education that cultivates critical thinking, moral integrity, and a love for learning. This approach not only prepares students for post-secondary education but also equips them to live as faithful Catholics, embodying the virtues of their faith in everyday life. By integrating faith and reason, our curriculum helps achieve our mission of forming young men and women who are prepared to succeed academically and lead with compassion and integrity.
Describing Classical Education through the Trivium
There are 3 stages to classical education: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Each of these stages incorporates our Catholic faith and teaches the students the ultimate truth of the Incarnation and Salvation History. Each stage matches the development of the student’s brain. While each of these stages of learning can intertwine and overlap throughout the child’s education, there are primary time frames that children naturally learn in a certain manner.
