GRADES 1-3
GRADE 1
The caring authority of their class teacher teaches first graders excellent habits and the rhythms of the day, week, month, and year. They get an appreciation for the world and an excitement for what lies ahead thanks to their unique bond with their teacher. The teacher is permitted the flexibility to bring the curriculum that will best serve the group of children in front of her. She is therefore responsible for attending to the appropriate development of physical dexterity and capacity, social skills, and academically-oriented abilities. Math, literacy, drawing, and other subjects are taught through movement as a beginning point. Other aspects of the curriculum for Grades 1–3 include: religion, science, social studies, physical education, music, art, computer, and dancing. In Grade 1, we also focus on oral recitation and focused listening help to improve memory, foster the development of beautiful and distinctive inner images and comprehension, and foster social life.—to note also this is done for all the grades here at St. Theresa Prep.
GRADE 2
The students are prepared to put the abilities they learned in Grade 1 into practice at this grade level. They keep developing and expanding their understanding of word-sound interactions, narrative devices, and meaning-making.Practice is a key component for this age group because, when given the opportunity to grow under the patient supervision of their teacher, they will solidly establish the groundwork for future study habits and academic success. At this level we also focus on fostering notable progress toward fluency in reading, writing, and math as well as on strengthening nature studies.
GRADE 3
As they take on increasingly challenging and abstract activities, students will begin to apply their tangible learning. Students now begin working more independently rather than following teachers' explicit instructions, using the abilities they obtained in grades 1 and 2.
GRADES 4-6
​
Grade 4
After enduring a big transition, the Grade 4 students glide into a new phase of childhood when they find solace in both the world and themselves. They can take on more academic work, and make more thoughtful decisions. Through practice in Grade 4, the mastery of mathematical ideas from Grade 3 continues to develop. They also continue to learn math skills, including statistics, geometry and algebra. Students are still engaged in their secondary subjects. Teachers plan their curricula to correspond with the developmental stage by emphasizing writing from the start and building on it, connecting their lessons to the current major lesson block, and assigning more work in groups or parts. Language arts: Using a range of media, students improve their speaking, writing, and reading abilities. Word study, vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and penmanship are among the things they learn.

Students in Grade 5 & 6 students are situated at a critical juncture between childhood and early teen. The motions are balanced, graceful, and well-coordinated, reflecting this growth period.
