HFCA teachers go beyond textbooks and transform learning by listening to learning by doing.

School is out. Summer is here. Kindergarten graduation is a memory. But for parents and educators alike, this is a perfect time to reflect on the learning that occurred in the critical first year of elementary school. Success at HFCA is measured when their youngest learners become leaders and move their newly gained knowledge to action.

Problem solving and teamwork skills are hallmarks of Holy Family Catholic Academy's nationally and internationally recognized curriculum. Students master reading, writing, and math skills, but the Inverness school expands this knowledge by applying students' learning to solve authentic problems. It is this step that develops higher level critical thinking skills. Recently, students were asked to use their problem solving and teamwork skills to draft a school policy.
