Curriculum

St. Scholastica School students experience an engaging and nurturing classroom, while receiving a rigorous curriculum focusing on science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM), and language arts. Our students learn independently, in small groups, and through whole class instruction. STS follows the Joliet Diocesan teaching standards. Our curriculum raises the bar and encourages each child to reach their fullest potential. Using standardized assessment tools, we are able to provide data driven instruction in the classroom.

STS teachers are deeply committed to meeting the diverse needs of every student. They employ a range of teaching techniques, resource services, and closely monitor student progress to provide exceptional, individualized support.
