Curriculum is designed by our teachers based on state standards. We offer K3-8 with two classrooms for most grades. We have smaller class sizes, with the student-to-teacher ratio in our kindergarten programs kept at or below 20 students per 1 teacher. The ratio is kept at or below 25 to 1 in grades 1-3.

St. Gregory the Great provides the best in traditional Catholic education, while being an archdiocesan leader in bringing innovative new programs to the Catholic classroom. St. Gregory's Special Needs program, designed and implemented by a full-time Special Needs teacher, is a model for Catholic schools across the archdiocese. Our all-day K5 and all-day or half-day K4 and K3 offer "hands-on", community-building Kindergarten programs. Cooperative Learning Groups are part of the curriculum school-wide.
