The instructional program at St. Timothy's is organized to challenge each individual to perform to his fullest potential.  Small classes foster the development of close relationships between faculty and students and allow the teachers to be responsive to individual differences in learning styles, abilities, and interests.

The academic program emphasizes appropriate activities in reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science instruction, science lab, Spanish and Latin.

Students learn to read effectively, to communicate clearly and to think logically.  Students are assigned to heterogeneous homerooms and are grouped by ability for math and reading instruction.  All grades use the computer labs for computer instruction.

Reading is at the heart of the instructional program at all levels.  The curriculum emphasizes basic reading skills, vocabulary, and instruction in phonetic, structural, and contextual word analysis.  Written and oral expression are emphasized and an Honors Reading program is introduced in third grade.  Middle School literature is a thematic study using novels and selections of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, short stories, and drama.  Personalized reading, special-interest reading, and reading for pleasure are encouraged.

Mathematics instruction aims at mastery of computational skills and problem solving from beginning kindergarten instruction to geometry in eighth grade.  Art, music, technology and physical education complement the academic program.  Dramatic and musical performances for K-4th grade include the Pumpkin Parade, the Christmas Pageant, and the Hat Parade; for 5th-8th grade, plays and musical programs are among the special events on the school calendar.  A cultural arts program of music, drama events, writing seminars, and art are also enjoyed during the school year.

At St. Timothy's, our goal is to create a caring, supportive environment where students can experience the joy of learning.  We promote a child's self-esteem by making sure each student receives individual attention, encouragement, and support.
