School Notes
At Holy Name School, students gain a strong foundation for the
future that includes a quality education rooted in traditional
Christian values and high moral standards. The innovative
programming, outstanding professional staff, and highly involved
parish community support our students as they flourish
academically, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
With small class sizes (1:20 teacher:student ratio), quality
professional development, high expectations for student
accountability and strong parental involvement, our students
continue to soar! We maximize their potential by providing
individualized instruction, consistently monitoring student growth,
and communicating regularly with students and their parents.
Our students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8 participate in
Art, Music, Physical Education, Spanish, and Technology weekly in
addition to their core content classes. Because of our size and
creative scheduling, many of our Special Area teachers have
flexibility within their schedules to team-teach and co-teach in
the general education classrooms. This provides an even greater
student:teacher ratio while helping students experience the natural
integration of the arts and technology across the curriculum.
From specialized classes such as Leadership and Essential
Skills to the plethora of extra-curricular clubs and organizations
we have established, our students have multiple opportunities to
highlight their strengths and explore new interests. We challenge
students while providing ample support to each child.
Beech Grove is a city within Indianapolis, so our students are
able to experience a small-town feel with the many benefits of the
metropolitan area. Field experiences at the public library, Sarah
Bolton Park, the fire department, St. Francis Hospital, and several
shops within walking distance help our students understand that
learning extends far beyond these walls. The technology in our
classrooms - from wireless handheld response systems and laptops to
Smart Boards and other interactive technologies - enhances our
students' creative thinking and motivates them to grow, learn, and
lead.
Holy Name offers Extended Care before and after school for
families on the go! The morning includes a light snack, as does the
afternoon. In the afternoon, students have time to complete
homework, engage in structured play in the gymnasium and socialize
through arts, crafts, and games in the Cafe. There are several
clubs and activities in which our students participate before and
after school as well.
Another option for families is participation in our Giant Steps
Summer Camp. Students entering Kindergarten through Grade 8 can
participate in one or both three-week summer sessions that partner
engaging learning activities focused on core curriculum in the
mornings with structured play and field experiences in the
afternoons.
