Academics

Muskegon Catholic Schools offers a curriculum that is both rigorous and meaningful. Through the use of professional learning communities, educators at Muskegon Catholic have worked diligently to align curriculum K-12 in order to deliver challenging courses that address essential learning objectives and meet the needs of students with varying academic abilities. Muskegon Catholic also has the added benefit of a faith-based education that emphasizes Christian values in all aspects of teaching and learning.

Muskegon Catholic Central has recently implemented Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests to gauge academic achievement and develop individual growth targets for students. Using data analysis, educators at Muskegon Catholic Central are able to both monitor student progress and adjust instruction to meet the individual needs of students. Teachers are able to work together during weekly meetings in professional learning communities (PLCs) to discuss and develop research-based teaching strategies for implementation in the classroom. Because of the small size of the school and opportunities for collaboration amongst educators, Muskegon Catholic is able to make effective changes to meet both the needs of students and academic demands mandated by state standards and benchmarks. Through collaboration and data-driven instruction, Muskegon Catholic offers a curriculum that addresses the learning needs of all students and cultivates a source of faith that can help children to grow both academically and spiritually.
