SJA’s entire primary level school curriculum (K-2) is driven by our firm belief that a learner’s first school experience should be his or her best school experience — and the primary years are the building blocks for rigorous study that will promote high self esteem that is critical for future success.
Our comprehensive curriculum, taught by experienced, certified teachers, provides a superior foundation for excellence in all areas of study. Our faculty knows how to provide our students with faith and service opportunities that integrate with our dynamic curriculum. These opportunities — such as classroom presentations, participation in Mass responsibilities, class trips, technology skills, world language instruction and more — give our primary students the tools and self confidence they will need to successfully navigate the intermediate and upper level grades.
