We Worship

St. Gregory the Great School is committed first to “giving students a God-centered Catholic outlook on life” and we do this through school and class liturgies, frequent prayer services, sacramental preparation, and special prayer services such as Living Stations of the Cross, the May Crowning and Blessing of the Animals.

We are committed to “academic excellence” and our offerings include reading, religion, language arts, social studies, science, mathematics, algebra, foreign language, art, music, drama, physical education and computer literacy. Our Spanish teacher is full time! Our textbooks are current and regularly updated. Our classrooms are all multimedia classrooms.

We Enrich

Computers and technology play an integral part throughout the curriculum. Students develop the necessary knowledge to utilize the technology available to them. Students use computer stations and laptops within the classrooms, computer lab and the Science lab. Interactive whiteboards are used for instruction in every classroom. Upon graduation, the students are experts in computer skills. We have a state-of-the-art 2,000 square foot Science lab. We have a rooftop weather station. We take class trips including seventh grade trips to Boston and eighth grade trips to New York City and Washington, DC. Students produce their own professional quality yearbook and have an opportunity to take part in many activities such as Parochial League Basketball, cheerleading, track team, UN Club, John Hopkins Talent Search, National Geographic Bee, Yale’s Paleo Knowledge Bowl and Science Horizons.

 

We Win Awards

We are proud to have State Spelling Bee Champions, Peace Poster Contest Winners, Dinosaur Poster Contest Winners, Paleo Knowledge Bowl Finalists and Winners. Science students in Grades 7 & 8 recently competed against middle and high school students across the state in a competition called “Cool It – the Climate Change Challenge” in which they won the grand prize of $10,000. Their ability to utilize technological tools allowed them to communicate, maintain documentation, gather and analyze and graphically represent data, create publications to distribute to the school community and the community at large.

The music, art, drama, and physical education programs encourage students to appreciate themselves and each other through a variety of techniques. Extracurricular activities including basketball teams, cheerleading squads, and track teams, promote cooperation and good sportsmanship. The United Nations Club was established to evoke awareness of the global world. As a result of our academic and extracurricular activities, students have entered contests and won numerous awards. St. Gregory the Great School has evolved into a beacon of academic excellence, nurturing the whole child to become Christian leaders in the world today.
