St. Joachim School, Hayward provides an excellent education in safe, nurturing environment to over 350 students in grades Pre-K through 8. We offer Catholic Education for the 21st century that blends traditional Catholic Values and a faith-based education with an rigorous, relevant curriculum that gives students the skills they need to be successful in the world in which they live. Collaboration , critical thinking and creativity are just a few of the 21st century skills that our students learn and apply each day.
Our 1-1 Laptop program in grades 6-8 provides students with a Mac Book to use at school and at home. Mobile learning devices including two class sets of iPads, a class set of iPods as well as Promethean Boards in every classroom allows us to take advantage of the tremendous impact on student learning that technology affords. Our school-wide Discipline With Purpose (DWP) program focuses on teaching students self-discipline and the skills they need to contribute positively to the learning environment and be productive members of society. We feel that students also benefit tremendously from the opportunities that they have to live their faith through service learning projects including outreach to those in need in our community. Extracurricular activities such as choir, band, CYO, student council, liturgy committee, Boy and Girl Scouts, and altar serving give students the opportunity to explore their interests and develop their gifts and talents. Special field trips such as science camp in 6th grade, Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon in 7th grade and Caritas in 8th grade give students an unforgettable opportunity to spend time with their classmates learning about themselves and each other in alternative learning environments. Our diversity, a supportive parent community and a dedicated faculty and staff all contribute to the family-like atmosphere and positive learning environment at St. Joachim School where students can Grow in Faith Together. St. Joachim School is open to all visitors. Please visit us. |
