Welcome to the St. Boniface School
website!
I’m pleased to have the opportunity to share information about our
school with you.
St. Boniface is accredited by the
Middle States
Association of Elementary Schools. We offer a solid core
curriculum including Religion, Math (Algebra I in Grade 8),
Language Arts; Science, and Social Studies
within a multiage learning environment. In our multiage
classrooms, the students are challenged appropriately according to
their ability to master tasks at progressively more difficult
levels. They neither spend time on what they have already
achieved, nor proceed to more difficult tasks if they have not yet
acquired the necessary skills. Our commitment to academic
excellence is evidenced in our Standardized test scores. Students
at St. Boniface are consistently well above state and national
scores
Prayer is an integral part of each day. Our disciplined
environment based on the Gospel Values encourages Christian
respect for self and others. Students are provided a safe
environment in which to learn.
Students have the opportunity to experience many other curriculum
