The Academic Program

The academic program at Saint Angela Merici is demanding. Our school meets and exceeds the requirements of the New York State curriculum.

Every student participates in classes for art, computers, music education, and physical education on a weekly basis. Homework is a nightly event.

Saint Angela’s is fully committed to an integrated technology program beginning in Pre-K3 through the 8th grade. Thanks to the generosity of business donations, alumni, foundations and Grants, we have two computer labs with up to date hardware and software on more than 100 school computers for all students.

It is important to note that we do not teach “computers.” Our computer program is completely curriculum driven. Each teacher coordinates projects with the computer teacher and the children produce work based on their classroom content.
