Curriculum
St. Norbert Catholic School facilitates optimum learning and the growth of the whole person through education permeated with Gospel values. The school assists and complements parents, the primary educators, in the education and spiritual formation of their children. In the context of a caring worshipping community, we promote academic excellence, nurture Catholic values and attitudes, which inspire service to others.

We strive to enable students to realize their unique potential. Our academic program focuses on the basic skills students need to pursue their own goals as independent life-long learners. We are committed to fostering in the students a deep appreciation for the gift of life and responsibility for living morally and ethically as informed citizens in a culturally diverse, technological, global world.

The thrust of our philosophy is to challenge the students to use their God-given gifts and talents in their search for academic excellence and to empower them to live their baptismal call to holiness, wholeness, and service to the human family. Saint Norbert Catholic School endeavors to be an effective model of sound scholarship, responsible citizenship and true discipleship.

Introductory Spanish is taught in Junior High.

Kindergarten has a specific curriculum which focuses on the development of the total child with a strong emphasis on Catholic identity, academics and social development.

Learning Support Program: Inclusion is both the goal and the method by which the school creates classrooms that value the uniqueness of all children for who they are and what they can contribute. St. Norbert Catholic School's Learning Support Program:

• Realizes that all children within a classroom have special God-given strengths and needs
