Grades one to three make up our primary school. To build a solid learning foundation, primary students are divided into three homerooms with small class sizes. Literacy and numeracy skills are a significant focus in these grades.

The Response to Intervention model provides data for reading groups to be created across each individual grade level to meet the needs of each student and help them grow to their fullest ability.

Our second graders take the next step on their full admittance into the Catholic Church as they make two sacraments. During winter months, these students receive their First Reconciliation and in the spring-time, they are welcomed to the Lord’s banquet when they receive the sacrament of the First Holy Communion.

St. Francis De Sales School follows the Graded Course of Study curriculum published by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. To view the curriculum, please visit  Archdiocese of Cincinnati Curriculum.
