Thinking is Critical to Success

The curriculum at Our Lady of Fatima School is based on a strategy that utilizes manipulative-based and developmentally appropriate activities with a focus on critical thinking and reasoning skills.

A Course Set For Excellence

Fatima has achieved excellence by always looking to the future, and meeting the needs of our students today as well as tomorrow. The curriculum includes courses in religious education, literature, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, physical education, computer instruction and vocal/instrumental music. The educational experiences of the children are enhanced by the classroom multi-media centers, the media center in the state-of-the-art library, two computer labs, and the hands-on science lab. Children are introduced to a serious study of fundamental skills, which form a strong and solid foundation for their later years.

Strengthened by Challenge

Fatima meets the needs of its students through advanced English and reading classes, two 8th grade algebra I classes, resources for children with learning difficulties, and participation in the gifted program. Fatima continues to strive to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Fatima may now have the lowest class size of any school in the Diocese.

A Broader Horizon

Electives in the area of computer literacy, speech, drama, art, band, chorus, French (grades K-7), Family Living, or study and creative thinking skills are available to junior high students. Our Lady of Fatima School is committed to providing an environment for maximum learning and promoting the ability to think critically in order to solve problems and make decisions. It is a proven fact that aesthetic experiences can provide a foundation from which thought, concepts, judgment and action spring.

Imagine That!

Developing the imagination influences the thinking process, the quality and quantity of ideas, values and theories. Without imagination, creativity and intelligence are diminished. At Fatima, students have numerous opportunities for self-expression through the many art programs that are offered. Students are developing lifelong thought processes and are learning how to organize and express their feelings.

Fatima provides many opportunities for a child to build an appreciation for fine art and music. A unique staff includes instructors in the areas of piano, voice, liturgical music, band, art appreciation, chorus, French, art classes, art club, and opportunities for theatrical performance.

The Subject of Focus

Fatima's unique biennial symposium brings areas of interest such as archaeology, paleontology, inventions, the human body, and literature to the forefront of the curriculum. It also features hands-on exhibits and nationally recognized speakers.

Children of Exception

Fatima has the only educational program in the Diocese for students who are mild mentally handicapped. Students are mainstreamed for some subjects while the core curricular courses are administered in a self-contained classroom.
