St. Wenceslaus
ACADEMICS

High-quality academic standards guide all of the planning and decisions about what students learn and how they achieve success. Our goal is to develop learners on a quest who thirst to find the solutions to problems. We want our students to be confident, and to be able to think and act independently as well as collaborate with others.

St. Wenceslaus offers all of the basics plus more! We want our students to have a thorough and deep understanding of each subject matter, but to also to have a wide array of opportunities and experiences that will help them grow as leaders for the future.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”

– Aristotle

STEM Infused Curriculum

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is the interwoven connection to most of our beautiful existence in God’s carefully designed world. Our STEM is infused into all of our subject areas. We provide hands-on learning where students develop skills in the “Four C’s” of STEM –  Communication, Collaboration, Critical thinking and problem solving, and innovative Creativity.
