Physical Education
Students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8 engage in weekly physical education classes. Our goal is to establish and sustain an active lifestyle through a variety of fitness routines and activities. Physical activity helps build strong bones and muscles and improves a student’s overall health, cognitive function and overall development.

Art
Art classes are all about creativity! Students in Grades Pre-Kindergarten 3 through grade 2 use their imaginations while using a wide variety of materials such as paints, clay and more. They explore artists, techniques, world cultures and more. Wherever possible, art instruction is used to support the curriculum in every classroom.

Music
Our music classes cover both music history and music theory. Students learn how to keep a rhythm, sing, and play percussion instruments. Our music teacher brings joy to both our students and teachers at Guardian Angel. 

Choir
Students in our choir have the opportunity to fully explore the expressive qualities of music while developing a sense of self discipline, pride, and intercultural understanding. Students meet on a weekly basis and participate in all of our school masses in addition to performances during various holidays throughout the school year.

Learning to Look
The Learning to Look program is designed to expose young students to the world or art and beauty. In studying works from some of the world's greatest artistic masters, students are given the opportunity to see the world through new eyes. They are introduced to the elements of art, the themes of composition and the narratives of the stories told in the paintings. Through lively in-class discussions, students exchange ideas about the feeling, mood and impressions the artist originally intended to convey.

Girl Scouts of America
Guardian Angel School has a Girl Scout Troop for students in Kindergarten to 8th Grade. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts is the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. Meetings are held on a weekly basis.

Paul Effman Music Services
Guardian Angel School, in collaboration with Paul Effman Music, work to provide musical instruction to our students in Grades 3-8. Students are given an opportunity to learn how to play instruments such as bells, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and drums.

Enhancing student literacy is a school-wide initiative across all grade levels. To promote reading for entertainment, both inside and outside of the classroom, students are required to read and respond to one book per month. Monthly themes are assigned which coincide with our Writer's Workshop themes.  Personal Narrative, Mystery, Historical Fiction, and Biography are just a few of the themes addressed.

Students at Guardian Angel have access to a variety of online programs used both at home and in school. These programs are integrated into the curriculum and closely monitored by our teachers.
