Cathedral Chapel Elementary

Cathedral Chapel School provides a challenging, comprehensive, relevant curriculum that fulfills the school's mission and philosophy. The curriculum is designed to strengthen the school's Catholic identity and result in student achievement of Schoolwide Learning Expectations. Students at each grade level learn to problem solve, conceptualize, and apply their skills in realistic situations that will prepare them for the challenges of the next grade level and ultimately those of the 21st Century.

The school curriculum strengthens the Catholic identity by incorporating prayer, Christian service, character building, liturgies, Bible teachings, and Christian living into the school day. Each school day opens at assembly with prayer based on the Gospel message and closes with classroom prayer. Additional prayer opportunities occur throughout the day. All students are encouraged to offer special intentions for school-wide prayer. Teachers access the CTN resources and websites to enhance religion lessons and offer reinforcement about the liturgical seasons, the Mass, the Gospel message, and the lives of the saints. Throughout the year, the students attend monthly school Masses hosted by each class and the Student Council. Each class also hosts two monthly Sunday family Masses during the school year. The School Family Program provides students the opportunity to reach out and get to know students from different grades as they celebrate spiritual and holiday events together. The school offers opportunities for the sacrament of Reconciliation during the Advent and Lenten seasons. Weekly during Lent the students participate in Stations of the Cross and during Holy Week, the students participate in a Living Stations of the Cross prayer service.
