A Chance to Discover Your Gifts.
At St. Francis Xavier Catholic School, learning extends beyond the core classroom. Through the arts, technology, Spanish, and physical education, students have opportunities to discover their interests, develop their talents, build confidence, and experience the joy of learning in new ways. Whether creating a piece of art, learning a new language, solving a problem with technology, or working as a team on the playing field, students are encouraged to explore their gifts and grow as well-rounded individuals.
Fine Arts
Art and music give students opportunities to create, express themselves, and discover their unique talents. Through hands-on experiences and collaborative activities, students develop creativity, coordination, confidence, and an appreciation for the arts. Throughout the year, students have opportunities to share their talents with the SFXCS community.
Media & Technology
All students gain a working knowledge of computers through classes in the computer lab. A wide range of software complements classroom instruction. Students learn proper keyboarding technique, as well as word processing skills. The use of computers enables students to conduct online research activities and utilize technology skills to creatively enhance learning and communicate effectively. Computers within the lab and throughout the school are networked for both Intranet and Internet usage. Interactive whiteboards and LCD projectors are used by teachers in the classrooms to enhance their lessons.
Spanish
Spanish is offered from PK4 through 8th grade, giving students the opportunity to develop foundational language skills and cultural awareness. Through conversation, visuals, activities, and interactive learning, students build vocabulary and practice communicating in Spanish in meaningful, age-appropriate ways.
Physical Education (P.E.)
Physical education helps students develop coordination, strength, teamwork, and confidence while building healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Students participate in age-appropriate activities that promote movement, cooperation, sportsmanship, and physical well-being. Health and wellness topics are incorporated throughout the program.
