K-8 ACADEMICS

​At Visitation Catholic School, we adhere to a belief that regular review and reflection are paramount to good instructional planning. Our curriculum is designed using Diocesan and Missouri Learning Standards. We recognize “a malleable curriculum map encourages a hidden standard - relevancy - to be central in our practice” (Gallagher and Kittle, 2018). Our curriculum review and revision is informed by research-based best practices and, in many grade levels, incorporates Gold Standard projectbased learning (Buck Institute for Education), which includes authentic audiences, revision toward creating high-quality work and student-centered instruction. Teachers use a multitude of resources in their work with students, including Accelerated Reader, iReady, Google Classroom, SeeSaw, Book Flix, Brain Pop, Discovery Education, Flocabulary, Reflex Math, Membean, Peardeck, NoRedInk and Lightspeed.
  •  For mathematics, teachers use Eureka Math in kindergarten - fifth grade. Math teachers in sixth - eighth grade use a Prentice Hall text.
  • For English Language Arts (ELA) first through fifth grades are using Wit and Wisdom, an ELA curriculum from Great Minds. Novel sets and Houghton-Mifflin literature books are used by sixth - eighth grade English/Language Arts teachers.
  • Beginning in August 2021, science and social studies teachers use online textbooks from Discovery Education in sixth - eighth grades; Social Studies teachers use the A History of Us series in fourth - fifth grade.
  • Religion teachers in fourth - eighth grade use the Finding God by Loyola Press
  • Seventh and eighth grade Spanish students use the Auténtico online textbook.
