Holy Nativity Curriculum

 Committed to an educational program which seeks for each student to achieve maximum development, the administration and staff are constantly studying, revising, and upgrading both the curriculum and methods of instruction to continue to provide the excellent program for which Holy Nativity is known.

Preschool/Kindergarten

Holy Nativity’s preschool and kindergarten provides an education that is adaptable to each child’s individual needs, interests, and level of development. Activities are incorporated throughout the curriculum to address the child’s social, emotional, spiritual, physical, and intellectual development. The program provides an opportunity for the child to work at his/her own ability level in an environment that leads to a love of learning through hands-on discovery, play, social interaction, and participation.

Elementary

Math

Holy Nativity's math curriculum is based on the Saxon math program. The children learn through hands-on experiences, discussions, and exploration.

Language Arts

Holy Nativity uses the Harcourt Trophies Florida Edition reading textbook and language handbook. The reading/language arts curriculum includes objectives that support development in the skills of reading, writing, and oral language. These skills are developed through direct instruction, modeling by teachers, and guided/independent practice.

Social Studies

Holy Nativity uses the Harcourt social studies textbook and workbook. We provide opportunities for the child to understand himself/herself and his/her world and to acquire the tools for becoming a responsible citizen.

Science

The Harcourt science textbook and workbook provide the curriculum backbone for science instruction in the elementary grades. Students gain valuable knowledge about life science, physical science, earth science, and the human body as well as hands-on learning in the various disciplines of science.
