The curriculum at St. Paul's School follows the guidelines of the NYS Department of Education Learning Standards. It is developed in accordance with the NYS Department of Education as well as with the Department of Catholic Education at the Diocese of Buffalo.
We believe in the education of the "whole" child; mind, body, spirit, and soul. We accomplish this in a Christian atmosphere where all our student' needs, abilities, and interests are recognized.
Computer and Spanish are taught in grades 5 through 8. Enrichment in Computer and Spanish classes are taught in grades K through 4. Remedial Math and Reading is available for all grade levels. Advanced 6th, 7th and 8th grade Math and Course I Math are taken by capable students in those grade levels. A Resource Room Teacher is in the building to give students assistance in math and reading. The Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda School District provides a Registered Nurse, Speech Therapist, Special Education Teacher and a School Psychologist on the school premises.
Homework assignments follow the guidelines set by the Diocesan Department of Education and are given to reinforce work done in the classroom as well as to develop a sense of responsibility. We ask that parents support and encourage their children in all homework assignments.
An academic assembly is held after each marking period to give recognition to those students earning honor cards, as well as those who achieved Special Effort and School Service Awards. Student Achievement in other areas is also recognized at this time.
