Curriculum Offerings
Sacred heart School follows the curriculum as approved through the Diocese of Corpus Christi.  The curriculum is based upon Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) with some acceleration and the addition of religion.

Religion classes are a means of enlightening the child’s mind and spirit while building a Catholic faith foundation on which to grow.

Basic skills in Reading, English, Spelling, Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies, Health, and Physical Education are emphasized and reinforced through study and practical application. Curriculum Guidelines approved by the Diocese of Corpus Christi Department of Schools are used by teachers in preparing their daily lesson plans.

SHS continues to update its technology resources each year to keep them among the finest in South Texas.  All students in grades 1-5 attend a regularly scheduled computer class each week where real-world skills are taught under the direction of a full-time technology instructor.  In addition, the school’s high speed DSL Internet connection gives both students and faculty members the ability to retrieve useful information from thousands of content-screened online sources.

Classes in Liturgical Music, Art, and Spanish are integral parts of the curriculum at Sacred Heart School. Students are offered means of self-expression while creative development is fostered and encouraged.

The Montessori classroom environment encourages learning in the areas of practical life, sensorial, botany, geography, music, language (reading), and math.

Religion Requirements
The school day begins and ends with prayer. As a Catholic School, SHS places emphasis on Catholic religious education and training.  All students enjoy the benefits of learning and living God’s Law of Love “Love God with your whole heart, mind, and soul.  Love your neighbor as yourself.” Prayer before and after meals is also encouraged.  Every Friday and on special feast days, the students attend the 8:00 a.m. Mass as a school activity. Students are given the opportunity/responsibility to plan and participate in the liturgy for these Masses.

There is always time for prayer at SHS.
