Our fourth and fifth grade classes are transition period. Students in fourth grade continue to be self-contained but have a significant change in the rigor of their classes, as well as the scope and depth of their studies. Fifth grade students change classes amongst three teachers to become more familiar with transitions, organizing materials etc.  Using the foundational skills attained in previous grades, students further extend their critical thinking while learning content appropriate for each grade level.

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.
