Instructional approaches and methods are varied to meet the learning abilities, styles and individual needs of students and to help them integrate concepts, skills and attitudes.  St. Paul's follows the Curriculum Guides established by the Diocese of Orlando, which meet or surpass those mandated by the State of Florida.

The Early Childhood Program (grades Pre-K - 1) promotes maximum social, emotional, intellectual and physical development for the young child.  On a practical level, these objectives are achieved by providing each child with a nurturing and stimulating environment and the opportunity to interact with other children within the total Christian atmosphere.  Play is the work of the young child and is an essential part of the curriculum.  Play experiences are geared to the individual needs of the child.  Large and small motor activities, and art experiences, scientific exploration and skills necessary to the development of reading and math readiness are presented in the early childhood curriculum.  The concrete, hands-on experiences provided for the children are consistent with the developmental stages of young children.  Our early childhood students also participate in music and physical education classes every morning, and have story telling in the library once a week.

Elementary (grades 2-5) are primarily self-contained.  Emphasis is placed on the child’s need to develop good organizational skills and study habits that will facilitate future success in school.  Throughout the year, a variety of activities and curriculum-related field trips are incorporated to ensure growth, responsibility, and self control, with a focus on Christian formation.

Middle School (grades 6-8) commits itself to recognizing early adolescence as a unique period in the lives of students.  We strive to create a program that provides a supportive environment which fosters educational achievement while providing for physical social and spiritual growth.  Middle school students observe their own departmentalized schedule with teachers assigned to specialized content areas.  Students are exposed to a variety of learning experiences, thereby encouraging development of the whole child and providing opportunity for success and preparation for high school.
