Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy focuses on Early Childhood Education and serves students in Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten. Research tells us that the early years of children’s lives are sensitive periods when their brain peaks for learning and they are most receptive for learning emotional control, for forming attachments to others, and acquiring language and music skills. The teaching staff will use developmentally appropriate lessons, centers, and creative playful activities to instruct our students. Students in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten are instructed daily in the following subjects:
Religion The highest priority in the school program is given to faith formation that is expressed in worship, religion classes and in everyday life. The religion teacher stresses that Christ is the foundation of spiritual life and strives to incorporate religious values, Christian principles, and Catholic traditions into the entire day. Virtues such as kindness, consideration, respect, and integrity are promoted. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy uses The Sadlier Religion Program.
Language Arts The Language Arts Program uses reading, storytelling, role playing, and more to help students learn readiness skills. Guest readers from the community are very active in helping us promote literacy. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy uses The Open Court Reading Program, which contains a language arts component.
Math Students are actively engaged in learning math skills through group activities, individualized instruction, and through centers. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy uses The Sadlier Progress in Math Program.
Social Studies and Science Students learn History, Geography, Economics, and Current Events through activities that are developmentally appropriate for their age level. Students learn General Sciences and participate in laboratory experiments that are developmentally appropriate for their age level.
Fine Arts & Technology Fine arts is taught throughout the course of the year in several different subjects to reinforce concepts previously taught. Students are also engaged in art during enrichment time at the end of the day. Technology is integrated in the classroom through the use of in-class computers and child friendly laptops. Students are also on a rotating schedule in which they utilize SMART board technology to increase their awareness of computers.
Physical Education The Physical Fitness/Health program is essential to our students’ overall well-being. The activities include “Pre-kinderobics” and “Kinderobics” as well as educational videos that teach good nutrition. Our goal is to help eliminate childhood obesity. All lessons and activities are developmentally appropriate.
