An Engaging Elementary Curriculum
St. Bernadette follows archdiocesan curriculum standards in math, language arts, science and social studies. Additional classes are offered in music, physical education, library, computer and art. Our curriculum focuses on preparing children for lifelong success.
-
Differentiated Learning
SBS students receive a strong foundation in reading, math, science, social studies and religion. Teachers use standardized test scores and other data to help plan lessons with knowledge of student abilities. Because our school is one classroom per grade, teachers collaborate with others in their grade level across the Omaha Catholic School Consortium to share best practices related to instruction and helping students reach their learning goals.
-
Faith in All We Do
Children grow in their relationship with God through daily prayer, twice-weekly Mass and hands-on faith experiences. We are also blessed to have tremendous support from the parish and parent volunteers, who facilitate meaningful experiences for our students to deepen their faith outside the classroom.
-

- Weekly Arts Program
