Curriculum
Curriculum Overview
At Holy Family Catholic School, your child’s education is guided by the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), the state standards that outline what students should learn at each grade level. As an accredited Catholic school in Texas, we use these standards as a strong foundation while also extending and enriching instruction to meet the needs of every student.
Instead of the STAAR test, students in grades 1–8 take the nationally recognized MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessments. These assessments help us understand your child’s growth and ensure they are progressing toward mastery of key academic goals.
Your child’s faith formation is an integral part of their education at Holy Family. Our religious curriculum follows the Diocese of Austin Religious Education Guidelines, providing clear grade-level expectations. Additionally, students have opportunities to develop a strong relationship with God through Mass, prayer, and service.
Our teachers use the standards to thoughtfully plan instruction, ensuring each lesson builds upon the next with purpose and clarity. Your child’s progress is regularly assessed to monitor understanding and growth, and this is reflected in our grading system. A variety of textbooks and instructional resources support your child’s learning across all subject areas.
