Academic Excellence

For many parents, a school's academic strengths are perhaps the most important quality they look for when selecting a school for their child. At Bishop Baraga we focus on offering a challenging educational curriculum with high academic standards and an emphasis on fundamentals. In order to maintain our high quality of education, we continually strive to meet the following goals:
To provide qualified teachers and an environment conducive to learning.
To meet or exceed state standards with regard to teacher qualifications, days or hours of instruction and curriculum.
To keep parents continually updated on student progress as well as issuing appropriately timed progress reports and report cards.
To regularly review and update curriculum for continuing excellence in instruction.
To provide small class sizes that allow enriched student / teacher interaction.
