Academic Program

Curriculum:

The curriculum is designed by the Diocese of Charlotte and is in compliance with the North Carolina State Department of Public Education. It includes a sequential program in religion, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, music, art, computer, physical education and health, and foreign language. The School has a library/media center program which offers quality reading selections. St. Gabriel has a school guidance-counseling program that provides students opportunities, through classroom instruction, to realize the importance of self-esteem, decision-making, positive peer influence, and anti-substance abuse information.  

Standardized Testing:

Standardized tests are used as a part of the student evaluation program. They provide a basis for educational guidance and measure effectiveness of curriculum, teaching procedures, and student achievement. The tests are administered according to the schedule determined by the Diocese of Charlotte. 

Report Cards:

Report cards are issued four times yearly. Please refer to the school calendar for issue dates. Report cards must be returned within two days of issuance. Progress reports for Grades K-5 are sent home every six weeks. 

Retention:

When it is the recommendation of a student's teacher and the principal that a child be retained in the present grade, parents will be notified prior to the last grading period of the academic year.
