ACADEMICS

At St. Nicholas School, Your Child’s Love of Learning Takes Root.

We understand that parents want more than just strong academics, they want their children to grow into confident, curious, and compassionate individuals.

That’s why St. Nicholas offers a unique, whole-child approach to elementary education. Through integrated core subjects like Language Arts/Social Studies and Math/Science — combined with rich experiences in Art, Gardening, Spanish, Technology, Movement, and more — students don’t just absorb facts. They learn how to think, explore, and solve problems creatively.

Classrooms here look different for a reason. You won’t find rows of desks or lectures from the front of the room. You’ll find collaboration, exploration, and support, especially from our dedicated Learning Specialist, designed to nurture independence, organization, and a growth mindset in every child.

Because when children are empowered to lead their learning, they don’t just succeed. They thrive.
