Saint Ignatius of Loyola School offers a course of study from Transitional Kindergarten through eighth grade. The entire school provides an environment that balances the acquisition of grade level standards while instilling Catholic values in each child. The grade level standards are based upon the California Academic Content Standards and can be viewed at The California Academic Website. We are also committed to incorporating the Common Core State Standards into our curriculum.
Teachers utilize a variety of methodologies to ensure that each child is progressing towards mastery of the standards. The school periodically monitors student progress using benchmarks, standardized tests, and teacher-made assessments.
Title 1
St. Ignatius of Loyola School is fortunate to have the help of the Los Angeles Unified School District which provides reading and math intervention to students. At present, these classes take place in in our classrooms, where the Title 1 teacher and St. Ignatius Teacher work together during an intervention block with a “push in” model. Teachers emphasize literacy and math instruction. Title 1 also provides our students with math intervention. If a parent chooses not to have their child participate in the program, they may write a note to the school Principal at the beginning of the school year.
