Grades

3rd Grade - 5th Grade

With a focus on engaging and rigorous curriculum, our upper elementary students are challenged to grow academically, socially, and spiritually. As the foundation for other subjects, literacy is at the heart of our curriculum. Students are exposed to both Fictional and Informational text through our reading curriculum and novel studies. The goal is for students to develop a love of reading, and improve their writing skills to prepare them for middle and high school.

We follow the Literacy First framework where the focus is on meaningful encounters with Vocabulary, Word Study, Fluency and Comprehension. Our Social Studies curriculum offers opportunities to improve critical thinking skills and apply higher-order thinking strategies to a variety of texts. During Mathematics, students build mathematical fluency in all four operations and work on refining the Mathematical Practices of perseverance, attention to precision, and reasoning abstractly and quantitatively. The Third Grade through Fifth Grade Science program is designed to delve into the areas of Earth, Life, and Physical Science.

It employs a practical and experiential approach to the prescribed curriculum. Throughout the course, students actively engage in interactive laboratory activities on a weekly basis. During Religion, the students read, discuss, and recite scripture as well as participate in meaningful classroom experiences that help them deepen their faith. Saint Louis's upper elementary helps students become independent thinkers, hard workers, and devout disciples who strive to be more like our Lord Savior, Jesus Christ, All for His Glory.

Students with Unique Abilities

Saint Louis Covenant School is committed to offering Catholic education to students who can thrive in a general education environment. To support students with disabilities, the school collaborates with families to provide basic accommodations and intervention services tailored to individual needs.

Parents of students with documented exceptionalities must submit specific documentation, such as recent evaluations, IEP or 504 plans, or ADOM Physician statements, to the school for review. The school will assess whether it can meet the student’s educational needs, but not all accommodations may be guaranteed. Recommendations that align with the school’s general education framework will be considered.

Required Documents:

  • Recent psychological/psycho-educational evaluations (within the past 3 years)
  • IEP or 504 plan from Miami-Dade County Public Schools
  • ADOM Physicians statement
