Our Curriculum
St. Bridget School meets state requirements with regard to each subject
in the curriculum. We follow the recommendations of the Diocese of Gary concerning textbook
adoptions and all texts used are approved by both the Diocese of Gary and the State of Indiana. The
academic curriculum focuses on the development and reasoning of basic skills in language arts, mathematics,
science, health, social studies, art, music, physical education and computer education. These subjects
are supported by an elementary library, the Internet and audio-visual center, pre-school and after-school
care programs.
Religious Education
Religious Education is the core of the curriculum at St. Bridget School. It is the
reason for our existence. In addition to formal classroom instruction, the curriculum is enriched by school
liturgies, prayer services, and traditional developmental practices. The basic content of the curriculum
emphasizes the teachings and traditions of the Church, and Christian service to others.
All children of the parish day-school attend religious classes from Kindergarten
through grade 8 during the academic year.
