Philosophy of the Integrated Language Arts Program

The Language Arts Curriculum in a Catholic school must prepare students to respond to the call of Jesus and the Church, to live a life of public witness. Supported by the knowledge that God loves them, students should develop confidence and self-esteem, the usual by-products of a curriculum emphasizing an integration of Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, and Thinking skills. Handling spoken and written language skills effectively, our students should graduate with verbal and written competencies that will equip them for successful high school study and subsequent academic and employment opportunities. For this reason, the curriculum prescribed for the elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is an Integrated Language Arts program, which is necessary for the complete development of our students, not only spiritually and emotionally, but also linguistically, socially, and academically.
