Standards-Based
Grading
Since 2005, St. Justin the Martyr School has been an Archdiocesan leader in standards-based grading. Standards-based grading evaluates students’ progress in mastering specific learning goals called standards. Standards-based grading provides superior feedback for our students to help them understand “what they know and don’t know.”
ACADEMICS
Sacrament Preparation
Our Sacramental Preparation Program guides young minds on their spiritual journeys. Second graders embark on a path to receive their First Reconciliation and Communion, and later on in their school career, students will prepare for Confirmation in eighth grade. At the heart of our program is a commitment to nurturing the spiritual development of each individual. With specialized curriculum tailored to their age, we aim to foster understanding, reflection, and a deeper connection to their faith.
