At St. Francis Learning Academy your students will play, learn from our caring and knowledgeable staff, and grow in the first steps of their faith. At St. Francis we Play Hard and Pray Hard. St. Francis serves three-year-olds through five-year-olds in part-time and full-time programs, including before and after school care. There's nothing quite like the morning at St. Francis when our youngest learners gather on their carpets for their meetings. Their excitement is contagious! Our outdoor classroom and playground are the scene of many games and new discoveries.
At St. Mary Cathedral School (K-3rd grade) and St. Lawrence Elementary (K-6th grade) our kindergarten students start the SuperKids Reading Program. From Kindergarten through second grade, our students grow with the SuperKids and learn how to read, write, and spell using the program. All of our students passed the 3rd grade I-READ test in 2021. Our math program is supplemented by ALEKS and IXL which self-directs students to work at their individualized level. Students attend weekly Mass and receive theology instruction. Students may participate in the Mass as readers and gift bearers. Specials include weekly P.E. classes, music, art, digital citizenship, library, and guidance. After-school care is an option for families. Organized basketball for boys and girls takes place on Saturdays with students participating as one unified school.
At St. Boniface Elementary (4th-6th grade) and St. Lawrence (K-6th grade) our older students continue growing in their faith, knowledge, and friendships. Organized school sponsored athletic teams help our students learn teamwork and sportsmanship. Theology classes continue along with the opportunity to take part in the Mass as altar servers and sacristans. Students are able to participate in band and choir. Guidance, digital citizenship, music, art, library, and physical education classes continue. After school care is available for families.
Beginning in seventh grade, our students come together to merge into one junior-senior high school, Lafayette Central Catholic. In 2022, Central Catholic was named a Top-Ten Catholic High School in Indiana by Niche.com. Niche also named Central Catholic the top high school for athletes in Tippecanoe County. Beyond our successes in the classroom and the athletic arena, our students perform hundreds of hours of community service, take daily theology courses, participate in weekly Mass, and experience religious retreats. By the time your child graduates from CC, they will be prepared for life. Check out our graduate profile to see what you can expect when your student turns their tassel at graduation.
