Frassati Catholic Academy Elementary School builds upon the strong foundation of early learning by forming students in both academic excellence and Catholic identity. These years are a time of steady growth, where students deepen their knowledge, strengthen their skills, and discover growing confidence as learners and members of a community.
Through structured instruction and meaningful experiences, students develop responsibility, perseverance, and a love of learning.
A Structured Academic Program
Students complete a full daily schedule of core coursework:
- Mathematics
- Reading
- Writing
- Language (Spelling & Grammar)
- Religion
Students also engage regularly in science and social studies, integrating their learning across subjects as they grow in understanding of the world and their place within it.
Instruction emphasizes strong literacy, clear communication, and thoughtful engagement with content. Our approach to literacy is grounded in the science of reading, with explicit phonics instruction in the early elementary years and continued development of fluency, comprehension, and writing as students progress.
With guidance, students learn to:
- Ask thoughtful questions and make meaningful connections
- Participate actively in discussions
- Organize and complete their work with care
These experiences foster curiosity, discovery, and a deeper engagement with learning.
Academic expectations increase as students grow. Students are expected to:
- Complete assignments with increasing independence
- Follow directions and manage daily responsibilities
- Participate respectfully and thoughtfully in class
- Take ownership of their work and effort
Clear expectations and consistent routines help students develop responsibility, perseverance, and pride in their work.
Experienced & Dedicated Faculty
- Small class sizes allow for direct feedback and individualized guidance
- Teachers provide consistent support as students grow academically, socially, and spiritually
- Faculty build strong relationships with students, fostering both confidence and accountability
Catholic Intellectual Formation
Faith is integrated throughout all areas of learning and shapes the culture of the classroom. Students grow in their understanding of Scripture, Church teaching, and what it means to live a virtuous life.
Students attend Mass regularly and experience Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, deepening their reverence and awareness of God’s presence.
They learn traditional prayers while also growing in their understanding of the purpose and importance of prayer in their daily lives.
Across subjects, students are encouraged to recognize truth, beauty, and goodness, and to integrate their learning as they grow in understanding of their role in the world. In science, they explore and discover the created world with a sense of wonder, growing in appreciation for the order and beauty of God’s creation.
Students also receive instruction in Spanish, technology, physical education, and music, supporting their growth as well-rounded learners and deepening their understanding of the universal nature of the Church and their place within it.
Faith connects what students learn to how they live, helping them integrate knowledge, virtue, and faith into their daily lives.
Intellectual growth and spiritual formation develop together.
