Primary (K-2)

St. Anastasia primary students are in self-contained classrooms, which allows teachers to truly identify learners’ academic strengths and weaknesses. Each primary classroom has a teacher and a teacher assistant which creates a lower student-to-teacher ratio. Developing a classroom a “family,” in a Christ-centered, collaborative environment is an important goal in grades K-2.  As with all age groups at St. Anastasia, great attention is given to developing the whole child.

Students engage in cooperative, hands-on learning to support imagination, exploration, and discovery. A variety of materials and teaching methods, including technology components, are utilized to support different learning styles. All primary students participate in physical education, art, music, Spanish, guidance, and media and technology courses. Religion class is taught daily and is incorporated within daily lessons to ensure consistent progress toward an acurate, thorough understanding of the faith. 

St. Anastasia Catholic School’s curriculum aligns with the Academic Standards of the Diocese of Palm Beach in combination with Florida State Standards. At the heart of a Catholic education, however, is an approach that nurtures the whole person — academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. We evaluate all our approaches, methods, resources, and curriculum materials with the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools and the Florida Catholic Conference.
