Primary School
The Primary School (Levels 1-4) focuses on the fundamentals. Reading is the most intense discipline taught. As we believe pupils' knowledge can reach their potential when they have a firm foundation in reading, we teach extensive phonics in the primary grades as well as reading comprehension. The basics of both mathematics and English are taught. The pupils memorize their math facts making it easier for them to understand math. Once they have mastered computation, they will not be hindered in the higher maths. It is in these grades that the pupils learn to be students. They learn neatness and responsibility. They learn to be diligent and hard working. They find that learning is fun and rewarding.
Intermediate School
The Intermediate School (Levels 5-8) is focused on building on the foundation that the Primary school built. Where reading was the focus in the Primary school, the focus in the Intermediate school is on English and mathematics. The pupils’ study of English helps them learn the mechanics of English so they are able to put it together and learn to express themselves. Mathematics is switched from the memorizing of math facts to the understanding of concepts. In the Intermediate school the pupils began to compile their knowledge to become independent thinkers. They take the foundation the school has given them, and they become partners in their own future.
Secondary School
The Secondary School’s focus is to bring the students' learning full circle. The years of secondary school are focused on intense and rigorous study in preparation for entrance into college or the work force. With a firm foundation, students learn to express their thoughts and to analyze the thoughts of others. With confidence in their knowledge the students prepare for their last years of school. These years of the Secondary school teach responsibility. The students learn that they are in charge of their own future. We have given them the tools. We have given them a head start. But they are now in charge of their future.Here at St. Scholastica HSC Academy we are proud of our tradition. We take great pride in educating children in solid academics, instilling in them not only knowledge of the subjects such as Math, Science, History, English, Religion, Literature etc… but we also try to instill in them a thirst for knowledge, to yearn for truth long after they graduate and to learn it their entire life.
