MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS

DISCIPLESHIP TLC—Thriving Learning CommunityThis program focuses throughout the year on all the gifts God has given us and all that is BEST in our students, including his or her character strengths and how they are used in school, with friends, and in the community.

Christ CommunitiesOnce a month they gather with their “school family” which is comprised of their siblings and other students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Each Christ Community family has approximately 25 students and they explore our Catholic Identity each month, taking a deeper dive into our faith in an engaging lesson involving teamwork.

ACE—Achieving Crusader ExcellenceDuring the 2014–2015 school year, a newly implemented Response to Instruction program began. ACE—Achieving Crusader Excellence—is a block of time which occurs three times a week for 30–40 minutes in grades 3–8. Based on data gathered throughout the year, grade level teams of teachers identify skills that each individual student could benefit in developing or enhancing.

Student Services DepartmentImmaculate Heart of Mary is a student-centered community. IHM recognizes that every student has unique learning strengths and challenges. The Student Services Department at IHM provides several specialized services that support the individual needs of all students.

ExCEL ProgramIHM’s academic enrichment program is offered to our students in grades three through eight who have been identified as gifted. The curriculum and instruction are specifically designed for the needs of this student population.

Catholic School of Tomorrow AwardIn 2013, IHM School was again named a Catholic School of Tomorrow in the Award Category of Stewardship and Social Justice. Our school wide and grade level local and global stewardship projects involve opportunities not only to provide service to others, but to get out in the community and demonstrate students’ commitment to treat all with compassion, dignity and justice.
