About Us

Faith

Be it known to all who enter here, that Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen, but ever present teacher in its classes. He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.” -Anonymous

Our students are immersed in their Catholic faith from the moment they enter the school building. We start each day with prayer, a Bible passage, and a reflection at our school wide Morning Assembly. Our teachers preach the gospel by their actions and through daily religious instruction. Students participate in weekly Mass with Father Rob and monthly Eucharistic Adoration. We also actively live the liturgical calendar through school-wide Advent and Lent activities. Finally, we actively live out our faith through acts of service by putting others’ needs before our own.

CKS growth mindset

What is Friendzy?

Social-Emotional Curriculum integrated into weekly instruction. “The best thing parents can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning.” – Dr. Carol Dweck

Innovative Learning

“I like the problem solving aspect; it gets you to really think about the problem at hand. It’s fun to brainstorm solutions and feels rewarding when you find the best one.” – 7th grader

The goal of our STEM program is to motivate and challenge our students through cross-curricular project based learning. These hands-on activities take place in our St. Patrick STEM Lab, Saints Isidore & Maria garden, and in the classroom. Each grade level completes two Project Lead the Way STEM units. Our students are actively engaged in building and programming robots, designing and printing 3D shapes, creating apps, coding, creating coolers out of household items that can keep popsicles cold, and more. Our students get additional hands-on learning experiences by planting and caring for our vegetable garden, chickens, and flower garden. Our innovative learning approach gives students a great opportunity to apply the knowledge they are learning in other classes and the collaborative problem solving skills they are developing will serve them well in high school and beyond.
