Academic Information
At Epiphany School, academic excellence is grounded in a faith-filled environment where students are nurtured intellectually, spiritually, and personally. Our goal is to instill a lifelong love of learning, supported by small class sizes, differentiated instruction, and a caring faculty committed to helping every student reach their full potential.
Faith-Based Learning
Faith is woven into every aspect of the school day at Epiphany. Students begin and end each day with prayer, participate in monthly Mass, and engage in regular sacramental preparation. Beyond the classroom, faith guides our community through service-learning projects, and opportunities to practice compassion, empathy, and respect in daily interactions.
Our Pre-K programs lay the foundation for lifelong learning in a warm, nurturing, and faith-based environment. With a focus on early literacy, numeracy, fine motor development, and social-emotional growth, students build the essential skills needed for success in elementary school.
Through hands-on activities, play-based learning, and structured routines, children are introduced to classroom expectations while developing confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning. Faith is woven into each day, helping young learners grow in kindness, respect, and a sense of belonging within our school community.
K-6 Core Curriculum
Mathematics
Our math curriculum builds a strong foundation in computational fluency, number sense, and real-world problem solving. As students advance, instruction incorporates word problems, logic-based thinking, and hands-on tools to deepen understanding.
Reading & English Language Arts
From phonics in early grades to research writing and public speaking in upper grades, our language arts program develops confident, capable communicators. Through high-quality literature, cross-curricular writing, and creative expression, students build lifelong literacy skills.
Handwriting Development
In Pre-K through Grade 1, students focus on developing printing skills alongside fine motor coordination, laying the foundation for clear, legible writing.
Beginning in Grade 2, students are introduced to cursive handwriting, building on their printing skills and enhancing hand dexterity and control. Throughout these early years, handwriting instruction supports fine motor development essential for academic success and everyday tasks.
Science
Students explore scientific concepts through inquiry, experimentation, and observation. Our upper-grade science lab enables hands-on discovery and project-based learning.
Social Studies
Our Social Studies curriculum guides students from learning about their communities in early grades to exploring state, national, and world history in later years. Emphasis on civic responsibility and cultural awareness helps students become thoughtful, informed citizens.
Religion
Religion is taught daily, guiding students in understanding Catholic faith, values, and traditions. Through scripture, prayer, liturgy, and celebration of the Sacraments, students learn to live with kindness, respect, and service.
From early preparation for First Communion to deeper discussions on faith and morality, our program builds a strong spiritual foundation rooted in the Church’s teachings.
Enrichment & Specials
All students receive general music instruction and perform in two annual concerts. Instrumental lessons are offered to students in Grades 4–6.
Art
Students express their creativity and explore various artistic techniques throughout the year. Art instruction encourages imagination and supports cross-curricular connections. Art instruction is incorporated into our K-4 classrooms. Grades 5 and 6 attend a dedicated bi-weekly art class.
Physical Education
Weekly gym classes promote fitness, coordination, and sportsmanship. Our gym includes The Krazy Maze, a sensory motor path designed to develop gross motor skills through active play.
Library
Weekly library visits support research skills and nurture a love of reading. Students explore a diverse and well-curated collection that supports classroom learning and independent reading.
Computer and Technology
Our technology program equips students with 21st-century digital skills. From basic navigation and keyboarding to word processing, internet safety, coding, and multimedia design, students learn to use technology responsibly and creatively.
S.T.R.E.A.M.
At Epiphany School, S.T.R.E.A.M. education inspires students from Pre-K through Sixth Grade to explore Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics in an integrated, hands-on environment. Pre-K through Grade 4 engage in STREAM challenges within their classrooms, fostering creativity and critical thinking through collaborative projects and problem-solving activities. Students in Grades 5 and 6 attend a bi-weekly dedicated STREAM lab, where they deepen their skills using cutting-edge technology and tackle more complex interdisciplinary projects.
Middle School Preparation (Grades 5–6)
Students in Fifth and Sixth Grade benefit from a departmentalized structure, receiving instruction from teachers who specialize in core subjects such as Science, Math, English, and History. This model builds independence and prepares students for the academic expectations of junior high and beyond.
