| At Our Lady of Lourdes
School, instructional programs are designed to provide
all students with a solid foundation in basic skills,
the development of critical thinking and problem solving
skills and an education in modern technology, mass
media and computer literacy. We provide a sequential
program of learning from kindergarten through 8th
grade with an emphasis on providing for the needs
of each individual learner.
Middle school students at Our Lady of Lourdes have
the unique opportunity to take advanced Math and Science
courses at Judge Memorial Catholic High School, located
right next door. The Lourdes students are integrated
right into the regular Judge classes and have done
exceedingly well in keeping up with their high school
classmates.
Reading is one of the most fundamental skills necessary
for success in school. All students K-8 receive periodic
reading assessments throughout the school year to
ensure they are progressing. For students who require
extra help we offer intensive reading intervention
as part of our Learn for Success Reading Program.
In addition to intensive reading intervention, Learn
for Success provides an Enrichment Program and English
as a Second Language Program. The Reading Intervention
program continues in the summer with an extremely
successful six-week summer reading camp.
At Our Lady of Lourdes School we believe that well-rounded
students are the cornerstone for the future. To that
end all students have Art, Music, Foreign Language,
Technology and Physical Education instruction in every
grade. And we immerse students in experiences that
develop a sense of responsibility towards people in
our community and the larger world community. Students
engage in numerous service projects throughout the
year committing their time, talents and compassion
to others.
Our Lady of Lourdes School follows the curriculum
guidelines of the Diocese of Salt Lake City in
compliance with the core curriculum
of the State of Utah. The school is accredited
by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools
and the Western Catholic Education Association.
