At St. Cletus, academic excellence is rooted in our Catholic faith and our deep commitment to nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit.
Our academic program is designed to build confidence, inspire curiosity, and foster a lifelong love of learning in a supportive, faith-filled environment.
From foundational skills in the lower elementary grades to the more rigorous preparation of middle school, our curriculum encourages students to grow intellectually, creatively, and spiritually. In every classroom and learning space—from our computer lab to physical education and the arts—students are encouraged and challenged to explore their God-given talents and become compassionate, confident learners prepared for their futures.
Believe, learn, love, and serve with us.
We are #StCletusProud.
Central to St. Cletus Catholic School's curricular goals is the teaching of religion. We are a ministry of the Catholic Church, and the Catholic faith is integrated into the physical, social, academic, and emotional development of the whole child. Likewise, religion is a required subject and is taught on a daily basis to all students regardless of religious affiliation. Students are required to participate fully in the religion component of the school.
Students' needs vary greatly from early childhood to middle school.
We thoughtfully tailor our teaching approaches and learning environments to be supportive of each student’s growth at every stage of their development.
Early Childhood
Our early childhood education program focuses on foundational social, emotional, and cognitive development through play-based learning.
Our lower elementary program builds on the play and exploration style of learning but with more challenging academics in a more structured environment.
As students transition into middle school, we offers more complex and rigorous academic content, assume greater ownership of their studies, and develop important social-emotional skills.
In addition to core academic subjects, students at St. Cletus Catholic School engage in a variety of enrichment classes that support the whole-child development.
Weekly classes in art, computer science, library, and physical education provide opportunities for students to explore their interests, build new skills, and grow in confidence. These programs complement our academic curriculum by nurturing students’ imagination, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and fostering digital literacy—all within a supportive, faith-based environment.
St. Cletus is proud to offer its students the latest in educational technology.
