CURRICULUM - Elementary School
Click to download this page as a PDF.
The Elementary School curriculum closely
follows the course of study prescribed by the Diocese of Cleveland and is
closely aligned with the model courses of study developed by the Ohio
Department of Education.
Curriculum alignment and student success in
reaching these objectives is accomplished by testing our students using
the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the Cognitive Abilities Tests.

The school is fully accredited by the North Central Association (NCA). The Elms continues to maintain standards which enable it to achieve “outcomes accreditation” which is the most rigorous level recognized by NCA. The Elementary School is also accredited by the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association and the Ohio Department of Education.
