In grades K-2, small class sizes are supported through a 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Each grade has two dedicated intervention specialists and features a main classroom and a resource room so that kids have more room for one-on-one instructions, small group instruction, and brain breaks.

Students build key academic skills in math, science, English language arts, social studies, and religion, while also strengthening social skills like turn-taking, active listening, and flexibility.
Daily routines start with activities that develop organization, task initiation, focus, and preparation for learning. Throughout the day, executive functioning is demonstrated by breaking large assignments into small chunks, organizing thoughts, initiating tasks, and maintaining the focus and attention toward the things they’re working on in class.
Instruction starts with whole group, teacher-led approach to lessons. After morning lessons, children visit different centers within the classroom and resource room to practice new concepts and skills. All JB classrooms are equipped with flexible seating - including swings, standing desks, trampolines, and exercise balls
Our onsite occupational therapist may push into the classroom to help with securing buttons, tying shoes, handwriting, and other fine motor skills. A speech therapist visits the class each week to help kids practice recognizing peers, initializing play opportunities, and beginning pragmatic/conversation skills. The JB educational experience also includes weekly art and music therapy, physical education and prayer service. School counselors are also available to students and provide more opportunities for social skill development with their peers.
K-2 partakes in 45 minutes a day of math instruction using the i-Ready Math program. Daily religion studies focus on not only Catholic teaching, but helping kids to become strong community members who embody the JB Way. Science and social studies take place for 60-90 minutes every other day. English Language Arts (ELA) is composed of reading, writing, phonics, and word-study instruction. Wilson and Fundations serves as our literacy programs to develop reading, writing and comprehension skills.
All classrooms are equipped with ActivBoards and Chromebooks. K-2 uses SeeSaw as a learning platform. Little learners play keyboard games and other multi-sensory, group-games that fuse technology, learning, and fun.
