52 THE QUEENS COURIER • CATHOLIC SCHOOL • JANUARY 22, 2015 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.queenscourier.com Divine Wisdom Catholic Academy One School, Two Campuses, Four Parishes Catholic education is thriving in Northeast Queens as Divine Wisdom Catholic Academy is proud to announce that its two campuses are now serving the Parishes of American Martyrs, St. Anastasia, St. Paul Chong Ha-Sang, and St. Robert Bellarmine. The academy provides high quality, student centered, differentiated educational programs stressing integration of teaching across the curriculum achieved through individualized and small group classroom instruction. Literacy is promoted through a balanced literacy approach directed at each student’s “just right” level supported by the Wilson “Fundations” Program in Kindergarten and leveled libraries in all classrooms. Students take Spanish as a foreign language beginning in Pre-K. A STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) focused program promotes hands on exploration and the integration of disciplines. A rich and diverse array of enrichment programs, including art, music, computer, physical education, library, Spanish, and middle school electives, complement the academic programming. All students celebrate and live the Catholic faith through a study of Catholic teachings, values, and morals integrated throughout the curriculum and supported by the affiliated Parish staff through monthly liturgies, prayer services, sacrament instructional preparation and service projects. The academy believes smart adults make smart children. In addition to hiring highly qualified faculty members, the academy invests in rigorous professional development to further enhance the faculty’s education in Literacy, Math, Common Core, Technology and Living and Leading by Faith. A commitment to promoting vertical integration of Catholic education is fostered through the academy’s affiliation with St. John’s University, and a unique partnership with St. Francis Preparatory High School, promotes science research, music, robotics, digital drawing and service projects for our middle school students. Partnerships with other education institutions, including Notre Dame University Ace Consulting, CW Post University, and Queensborough Community College, provide an array of administrative and academic support services. Start Early and Start Right! The academy is proud to have launched Free Full Day Universal Pre-K Programs in partnership with the City of New York in both of our campuses.
