Curriculum

The curriculum for Diocese of Joliet Catholic Schools offers families a unique school experience to excel academically while growing in their faith through our schools' Christ-centered environments. Our curriculum is designed to meet the physical, psychological, emotional, social, spiritual and cognitive needs of our students, and we partner with the families of our students throughout their enrollment in our schools. We tailor our teachings and programs for each age group.
