Academic programming
Dual Immersion education is nationally recognized as the best approach to address the learning needs of English Language Learners, while also providing many academic benefits to native English speakers. Risen Christ’s comprehensive dual language curriculum provides instruction in both English & Spanish, across all academic subjects. Students spend half of the day receiving English instruction & half of the day receiving Spanish instruction, fully immersed in the particular language of instruction. Grounding all academics in the Gospel teachings, students learn to embrace each other as God’s children & respect each student’s inherent dignity being made in the image & likeness of God. Risen Christ’s graduates possess a valuable asset–the Seal of Biliteracy Pathway Award from Boston College. This prestigious recognition highlights their bilingual proficiency & demonstrates their dedication to academic excellence for future educational & employment opportunities.

School values
Risen Christ partners with parents to provide a rigorous, high-quality Catholic education that honors each child’s faith, language & culture. Teachers & staff recognize & accept this special responsibility to partner with students & parents in a sacred trust to help children grow in faith & knowledge.
Discipline Policy
As Catholics & as Christians, it is the school community’s desire to become more like Christ. They believe that the purpose of a discipline program is to develop self-disciplined individuals with mature attitudes & socially acceptable standards of conduct, which reflect love of self & love of neighbor. Discipline, therefore, should not be confused with punishment. The school believes that students thrive when they are learning in safe, joyful, & engaging classrooms where they develop strong social & academic skills. The school’s teachers have learned to provide this environment through training in Responsive Classroom practices with an emphasis on helping students develop their academic, social, & emotional skills in a learning environment that is developmentally responsive to their strengths & needs. Responsive Classroom is an evidence-based approach to teaching & discipline that focuses on engaging academics, positive community, effective management, & developmental awareness.
