Student Life: Academic Curriculum
Our Lady's School provides a challenging academic curriculum that is in alignment
with the curriculum standards established by the Diocese of San Diego and the state
of California. Curriculum may be defined as "all the guided experiences of the child
under the direction of the school." It includes the content of the courses of study
and it also embraces the development of the whole child insofar as it is within
the scope of the school to do so. The school will assist the child in forming the
right understandings, attitudes and habits, not only in connection with subject
matter areas, but also in other school experiences.
The academic curriculum includes instruction in the areas of: religion, English,
reading, spelling, handwriting, mathematics, science, social studies, computers,
art, and physical education. Computer time is scheduled for all students in Grades
KR-8.
Classroom instruction is designed and implemented to accommodate the needs of each
child. Teachers utilize a variety of instructional strategies to help students meet
the curriculum standards at each grade level. Students are provided the opportunity
to develop their full potential through differentiated instructional practices.
