Why Catholic Education?
We nourish the mind and spirit of every child. A creative academic program and powerful spiritual guidance are the heart of every day at Long Island Catholic Elementary Schools. Our commitment to strong, individualized instruction, enhanced by advanced learning technologies, ensures that all children receive the personalized attention that builds knowledge and self-esteem in addition to the skills and study habits that prepare them for the academic challenges ahead. Daily teachings of faith bring spiritual values to life and foster in children an active and humane concern for others.
Early Childhood Program
Nursery (age 3) and Pre-K (age 4) are crucial stages in a child’s development. Catholic schools lay the foundation and guide these young learners to become successful, caring, and engaged community members.
We guide children on the path to more fulfilling lives. Our academic rigor, emphasis on spiritual values, along with our commitment to extracurricular growth opportunities, all combine to give children the knowledge, skills, and confidence to go farther. The result? Higher performance in the classroom and on recognized standardized tests and an exceptionally high rate of college admissions. More important, our students become well-rounded individuals who go on to lead successful personal and professional lives and who become active, caring members of the community.
Catholic Elementary School Education
A Catholic elementary education shapes children during a crucial developmental period. We emphasize both academic learning and personal growth, allowing students to engage deeply during this formative time.
An elementary education at a Catholic school engages children at an important formative time in their lives. They are learning information, but they are also learning about themselves, about their place and purpose in the world, and about their obligations to others. Catholic school stands out as a place that addresses all of the relevant aspects of a young personâs life. A Catholic schoolâs broad charter allows us to âeducate the whole personâ, in mind, in body and in spirit. It is a difference that creates an advantage for their entire life.
Catholic Middle School Education
Grades 6,7, and 8 can be difficult but rewarding years for students. Through our schools, we encourage authentic growth: leadership, academics, faith, contributing to their parish, and exploring sports and extracurricular activities.
