Academics

The St. Margaret of Scotland School curricula drives the teaching and learning that happens in the classroom from day to day, from grade to grade, from subject to subject. We have developed our curricula collaboratively through research and a shared belief guided by our school mission to provide a challenging learning environment for children, prekindergarten through eighth grade, in which they realize their academic potential and giftedness in body, mind, and spirit.

All Catholic schools share the mission to provide a solid foundation of learning that will enable children to flourish throughout their lives. Yet each school approaches that mission in a distinctive way that reflects its own character and culture.

At St. Margaret of Scotland, our culture can be described as a perfect balance.  It’s a special character that is derived from many factors.  Among these are the rich history of our diverse neighborhood and its families and the proven benefits of a Catholic education, developing the mind, body, and spirit of each child.
