Curriculum News & Updates
We’re working hard to make sure the rest of this academic year, as well as the next year, are smooth for all of our students, families, and staff. In addition to what we shared in the introductory letter, here are some highlights:
Need a summary of the updates to curriculum this year and what we’re working on for next year? Here’s the letter we sent out when we broadcasted our updated accommodations and academic policies for next year.
We have a fabulous team of 78A/B tutors updating writing assignments in 78A and 78B in a way that will help our middle schoolers become better writers and, even more, love writing. We’re using the Seton Composition for Young Catholics as a backbone for both years, and students will practice the skills they learn in their History and Theology writing assignments!
In addition to improved writing process instruction, our middle schoolers will get a more interactive experience with Shakespeare as we shift the Shakespeare reading to center days in order to capitalize on the drama! Instead of reading Shakespeare on their own, students will encounter the stories, the language, and way in which humanity is portrayed in a whole-class setting, setting the stage for great discussions and probably a laugh or two! For a sneak peek at how we’ll bring the Bard more fully into our classroom spaces, give a listen to the Living Shakespeare resources, available digitally here!
We’re looking forward to partnering with tutors, parents, and other RCA team members in the near future as we take a closer look at our lower and middle school Latin curriculum and ways we can better serve our families and staff. Be on the lookout for ways you can get involved; we’ll be reaching out soon!
Here’s one of our new training videos for returning staff next year; as we partner with you on your children’s educational journey, I invite you to give it a watch or listen to learn more about the history of classical education, how the traditional philosophy of educating young minds was challenged by Enlightenment and modern thinkers, and how RCA’s work is helping to bring about the renewal of a proven, faith-based, whole-person approach to education!
In Christ,

It's great to see a school putting so much thought into curriculum updates, especially the focus on making Shakespeare more interactive and helping middle schoolers actually enjoy writing. That kind of hands-on, creative approach is exactly what sparks young inventors and problem-solvers. For any students who come up with a clever project or device during these lessons, I've looked into some Invent Help reviews to see if that service actually helps regular people get their ideas off the ground. From what I found on inventhelp, they offer patent referral services and prototype guidance, which could be a real option for a student with a great invention but no idea where to start. It might be worth a conversation for any…
Curriculum updates play a vital role in ensuring that students receive an education that remains relevant, engaging, and aligned with modern learning standards. Regular reviews of teaching materials, assessment methods, and learning objectives help schools adapt to changing educational needs and prepare students for future academic and professional qualidade imagem challenges. By introducing updated resources, technology integration, and improved instructional strategies, educators can create more meaningful learning experiences that support critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Continuous curriculum improvement demonstrates a commitment to educational excellence and helps maintain a strong foundation for student success across all grade levels.
