5th Grade

Fifth Grade at St. Agnes Catholic School prepares students academically and spiritually for the transition to Middle School. The fifth grade standards are meaningfully integrated across the curriculum, including art, music and computer.   Our focus on the Holy Family, Sacraments, vocations, and mercy towards others encourages students to develop a closer and more personal relationship with God. As students begin to mature and grow into independent learners, we focus on respect, responsibility and leadership.
