Duluth Area Catholic Schools have
comprehensive curricular outcomes that outline standards and criteria for
students to successfully complete the educational program. Each school's
curricular and instructional practices reflect the mission and philosophy of
our school system.
A variety of instructional practices
allow teachers to accommodate multiple learning styles and needs. These include
differentiated instruction, performance-based learning, service learning,
cooperative learning, multiage instruction, and interdisciplinary instruction. Our
written curricular and instructional practices are guided by current research
and best professional practices.
The richness of our curriculum is
tied to creative and innovative learning activities, both within school
buildings and outside classroom walls. Specialists and extracurricular
opportunities enrich our educational program. They allow students to
participate in sports, music, drama, academic competitions, special clubs, and school
leadership teams that promote school spirit.
In addition to our written curriculum
and planned activities, Duluth Area Catholic Schools promote an Christian atmosphere of
learning that respects the dignity of every person. It is in this safe
environment that student learning is nurtured and student potential is
realized. Add focused attention on technology and you will see why our students consistently outperform their peers on standardized tests and other measures of success.
