Academics

Divine Redeemer School is proud to offer an academically-enriched education for all students. Our curriculum standards are built upon the philosophy and history of Catholic education. As stated in Canon Law, Catholic Schools must be as good, if not better, than the public schools around them (Canon 806). As demonstrated by our history of high student achievement, superior standardized test scores, and graduate success rate (including long-term entrance into colleges and professional programs), our school is setting the standard for quality education in our area.

Each child is offered an education in the five “core” subjects of religion, mathematics, social studies, science, and language arts (which includes reading, writing, phonics, spelling, vocabulary, etc.). Students also attend “Special Area” courses in music, art, Spanish, physical education, computers/technology, and library/media skills.

Divine Redeemer also offers the Accelerated Reader and Math programs. Specialized programs are also available in specific grades to enhance student learning. Students can receive extra help through our Counseling and Tutoring programs. A computer lab, science center, and library/resource center are available for student use. Divine Redeemer School is accredited through Advanc-Ed for School Improvement (formerly the North-Central Accrediting Association).

All students must participate in Entrance Screenings prior to registration. For more information about Entrance Screenings, click here.
