Curriculum

All Souls Catholic School has a well-defined curriculum supplemented with enrichment programs to meet the individual needs of our students. We provide students with a strong foundation in basic skills necessary for reading, communicating, thinking independently, and enhancing their character.

Each class devotes time each day to religion, mathematics, language arts (reading, English, spelling, and penmanship), social studies, and science. The curriculum offers opportunities for a student to demonstrate dignity, potential, and growth as a whole person in relationship with God and others.
