Core Curriculum
The articulation of a faith-centered environment with a quality educational program for St. John Vianney Regional School requires that all educators work collaboratively to design and implement an ever-developing and creative curriculum. According to Catholic tradition, curriculum should encompass the principle of respect, challenge learners to achieve their full potential and contribute to the moral development of all students.
SJV's curriculum has been designed in such a manner that it will stimulate a logical progression through the intellectual stages of critical analysis, deductive/inductive reasoning, clarity of thought/expression and utilize effective strategies for problem solving.
The teacher, as a leader, creates a learning environment which provides all students with the opportunity to succeed. Teachers set high expectations, address the varied learning styles of students and provide the necessary resource to achieve success. The principal creates a school environment of mutual respect and encourages the team approach to teaching at each grade level. Additionally, the principal is instrumental in the continuing development of the curriculum scope and sequence and ensures that all teachers are adhering to established grade level time lines.
The curriculum exists for the total development of each student in our school. The students assist in the continuing growth of the curriculum, not only as recipients of learning, but as creators of new opportunities. A well-developed curriculum encourages, within every student, an inventive spirit, flexibility to adapt to change, a desire to set and attain goals, and a belief in themselves.
