St. Michael’s students and faculty participated in the National Anthem Project in September. The school community gathered in the church sanctuary to learn the protocol for the singing of the National Anthem. Wearing red, white, and blue to show our patriotism, we sang all three verses of The Star Spangled Banner.
Lower School (K-5)
The Lower School offers students a traditional academic program, emphasizing phonics, reading, and mathematics, as well as social studies, science, research skills, and creative writing. The curriculum is academically challenging and prepares students for middle school.
Classroom instruction is enhanced by field trips, group projects, and hands-on experiments to spark students’ imaginations and intellects, and to develop inquisitive minds.
