Academics at Saint David Catholic School
Saint David Catholic School proudly serves students from Pre-K3 through 8th grade, offering a faith-filled and academically rigorous education grounded in the four pillars of Catholic formation: intellectual, human, spiritual, and pastoral. Fully accredited through the Florida Catholic Conference, our school upholds the highest standards in curriculum, Catholic identity, instructional practice, and school operations. We are also in the process of obtaining STREAM certification, which enhances real-world connections and supports the development of critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and capable 21st-century learners.
By uniting the richness of classical Catholic education with the innovation of STREAM learning, we form students who pursue truth, appreciate beauty, and grow in virtue — preparing them to navigate the world with wisdom and faith.
A Strong, Standards-Based Curriculum
Our curriculum is aligned with national, state, and Archdiocesan standards to promote strong academic outcomes at every grade level. Students engage in a balanced program that includes religion, English language arts, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. Enrichment in art, music, physical education, Spanish, library/media, and STREAM-focused electives broadens their learning experience.
Title I services, small-group instruction, enrichment programs, and academic support provided by trained professionals ensure that each child receives the individualized attention needed to grow and achieve success.
A Partnership Rooted in the Human Pillar
Research confirms that a strong relationship between home and school is one of the most significant predictors of long-term academic success. At Saint David, we nurture students’ human formation by encouraging curiosity, resilience, responsibility, and meaningful engagement with the world around them.
Parents are provided with resources and support that help extend learning beyond the classroom, fostering habits of inquiry, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning.
Advanced Academics and Enrichment
Students who demonstrate readiness for higher-level learning have access to academic pathways that challenge and inspire. These include enrichment opportunities for students in grades 3–5, advanced Algebra for 8th-grade learners, and enhanced STREAM experiences for students with exceptional abilities.
These offerings connect classical learning with hands-on exploration, helping students develop intellectual depth, creativity, and real-world understanding.
Spiritual and Pastoral Formation
As a Catholic school, Saint David deeply integrates the spiritual and pastoral pillars into daily life. Students participate in prayer, liturgy, sacraments, service opportunities, and faith formation that help them grow closer to Christ and understand their call to serve others with compassion and humility.
This holistic approach ensures that students not only excel academically but also mature as disciples who live out Gospel values in their families, parishes, and communities.
