Nativity Catholic School

Nativity Catholic School is a vibrant learning community that serves approximately 380 students, ranging from PreK (for children who are 4 years old by August 1st) through 8th grade. Our school is designed to foster both academic and spiritual growth in a Christ-centered environment. Each grade level, with the exception of PreK, is made up of two classrooms, allowing for small class sizes and more individualized attention. PreK, being a single classroom program, provides a focused, close-knit environment for our youngest learners.

The PreK program operates as a full-day experience, ensuring that students engage in a variety of activities that promote both early learning and social development. PreK students are dismissed 15 minutes earlier each day to assist with car pick-up logistics. The regular school day for all students runs from 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., with a early dismissal at 2:30 p.m. on Thursdays. Our morning care services start as early as 7:00 a.m. for a nominal fee, helping parents who need to drop their children off before the school day begins. Additionally, we offer after school care services for an additional cost, providing a safe and supervised environment for students after school hours.

In our middle school grades (6-8th grade), we follow a traditional middle school model, where students rotate between different subject areas in 40-minute classes. This structure allows students to experience a diverse curriculum and helps them prepare for the academic challenges of high school.

Religion is at the heart of our school community, and every Thursday, our entire student body attends Mass together to celebrate the Eucharist, fostering a sense of unity and faith among our students, staff, and families. Our religious education program is woven into the fabric of the school day, with Catholic teachings and values integrated throughout all subjects.

At Nativity Catholic School, we are committed to providing a comprehensive educational experience that supports the development of the whole child—academically, socially, and spiritually.

Nativity Catholic School, a ministry of Nativity Catholic Church, will LEAD through:

• Love rooted in Christ
• Education focused on academic excellence and service to others
• Achievement through personal effort and perseverance
• Development of mind, body, and spirit

By inspiring greatness, all children of Nativity Catholic School will realize their worth and reach their fullest God-given potential.

This strategic process addresses many areas at Nativity Catholic School – from reflecting on our Catholic Identity to creating bold, vibrant, plans to grow in our development, facilities, finance, enrollment, alumni and technology efforts.  We appreciate the time and effort our school community has given to support this process by participating in focus groups and online surveys. 

We are currently working on this year's strategic plan. 
  
We are grateful to each parishioner, family, student, faculty member, and alum who have enriched Nativity Catholic School with their faith, gifts, and talents. They have brought us to this point of excellence and growth in our history.

Let it be known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school, the unseen but ever-present teacher in its classes, the model for its children, the inspiration for its staff.

We aim to be a Christian community and witnesses to Christ, where all can experience and grow in Christian love, through God’s word and the gifts of His sacraments, and through prayer and personal example.
