Academic Programs
Holy Family Catholic School is dedicated to the complete education of each student with an extensive core curriculum. Teachers focus on religion, math, science, computers, technology, language arts, social studies, music, and physical education. Small class groupings allow a hands-on environment for each individual student. Holy Family’s high academic focus is evident through its continuous “above national average” results on nationally-normed achievement tests.
Students in grades 3-8 participate in the IOWA Tests of Basic Skills and their performance ranks well above the state and national averages. Middle School students in grades 6-8 are immersed in an academic program that prepares them with the problem solving and leadership skills needed for success in high school and college. Our ability-based learning model for every grade level ensures that each student is challenged to his/her full potential in academic proficiency.
