Immaculata is about growth. It is about each child growing spiritually, academically, artistically, athletically, and socio-emotionally in a Christian Catholic context. The administration and faculty are committed to creating an environment that nurtures each child’s gifts and encourages each student to share his or her gifts with the world. With two classes at each grade level and 18-24 students per class, the school is small enough for effective instruction and large enough to ensure a dynamic school community. The maximum enrollment of the school is 410 students. The prekindergarten year for four-year-olds provides a full day preschool. In grades K-8, teachers provide a traditional academic program. “After School” care, for families who choose to use it, provides time to do homework and to be with friends. A vibrant sports program supports girls and boys teams including volleyball (girls), basketball (girls and boys), baseball (boys) and soccer (girls and boys).
Immaculata is about children and families learning to serve the community and the world. Students engage in a core curriculum that includes reading, literature, writing and grammar, mathematical thinking and problem solving, understanding religion, as well as experiencing and living out one’s relationship with God and Jesus Christ, exploring social studies, and investigating science. Special subject areas include Spanish, physical education, art, and music. A computer lab supports the learning of research and other skills. Knowledge and skills are understood as tools for promoting justice, respecting life, and upholding the dignity of every human being. Each grade level performs age appropriate community service.
Immaculata is about children and families living lives of integrity. Students are expected to be truthful and honest, to listen to their teachers, and to seek to act in accordance with the teachings of Jesus. Students wear simple uniforms to focus the whole community on the personal qualities of each student. Discipline policies are intended to educate students in a way that they can live joyfully, honestly, and justly in a community.
