We know how important it is to master the basics of reading, writing, mathematics and geography.
Our fully-certified and licensed faculty teach a thorough curriculum of traditional subjects as required by the State of Indiana, the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, and the National Catholic Education Association. Also, understanding the challenges of our ever changing technological world, we especially emphasize math, computer training and science. Our new, fully equipped computer lab and automated library as well as computers in every classroom, allow students to become familiar with a variety of software applications and computer skills on which they will build in high school and college.

Communications and language skills are also vitally important for a well-rounded education. All seventh and eighth grade students study French or Spanish.

An outstanding fine arts enrichment program, outdoor environmental education and a wide variety of athletics supplement classroom work at St. Charles Borromeo School. Through extracurricular activities, we work to develop students spiritually, emotionally and physically. Above and beyond the "basics." children may participate in:

Behind everything we do at St. Charles Borromeo School are the enduring principles at the Catholic faith. We strive to reinforce values taught at home and provide students with examples of Christian living. Students participate in daily religion classes and attend Mass twice a week. They plan liturgies and receive instruction in the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.
