The intermediate grades build on the foundation begun in the primary grades.  The religion curriculum for fourth grade emphasizes the 10 Commandments, while fifth graders study the seven sacraments.  Both grades work on parts of the Mass, The Beatitudes, Works of Mercy, and Family Life.

The language arts program teaches students to use a variety of techniques to progress from being able to write short paragraphs to a well developed essay.  The elements of a research paper are also introduced.  In reading, students gain an appreciation and understanding of various literary genres:  fiction, nonfiction, historical fiction, poetry, etc. 

In math, students continue to use basic operations, and skills are further developed using interactive learning tools, manipulatives, and cooperative grouping.

Social studies classes teach students about the history of the United States, including Native Americans, the birth of our nation and the regions of our country.  Fourth grade students study the state of Connecticut.  In geography, students learn how to interpret maps and charts.  Civics and economics are part of social studies and integrate Catholic social teaching.

The science curriculum covers biological science, physical science, and earth science.  Biological science is taught through the study of plants and animals and health and life structures.  Physical science is taught through the study of matter, energy, sound and light.  Earth science is taught through the study of conservation of energy, weather, oceans, the Earth and the solar system.  Field trips for this grade level are related to the science and social studies curriculums.
