Blessed Francis Seelos Academy provides superior curricular instruction in the core academic areas of English, math, science, history, and religion through an interactive learning and classroom experience. In mathematics and reading, our elementary and middle school students are at least one year ahead of their counterparts in other schools. Their overall performance on standardized achievement tests ranks Seelos among the top schools nationwide, public or private.
Teachers have the tools to turn a typical classroom into a thought-provoking environment. iTouch Boards are installed in each classroom and students have access to laptops and a computer lab.
Science classes grow vegetables and study insects in our ecosystem in the school garden. In Spanish classes, students learn about other cultures and are introduced to foreign languages. In fine arts, students create pottery masterpieces using a kiln.
Our school participates in the Accelerated Reader Program (AR). AR is a reading incentive program used to encourage and reward reading for pleasure. It also promotes a life-long love of reading and improves reading comprehension skills. The program provides personalized goals for each student and provides suggestions for new titles based on the students interests and reading level. At Seelos Academy, we believe that “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” (Dr. Seuss, “I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!”)
