ISTEP
At Westside Catholic, we strive to maintain a balanced curriculum that reflects the importance of the basics
as well as integrates new trends in education. We take our state testing program, ISTEP, seriously without
making it the only goal of the educational process. Each teacher reviews the expected performances for his/her grade level and provides
instruction, practice, and review to foster each student's best performance when ISTEP
evaluation occurs in the fall each year.
The Religion program at Westside Catholic is central to our school's curriculum. As stated, in our philosophy, our goal is to lead students to a fuller Christian lifestyle. Provided in addition to the basic religion program are sacramental preparation, opportunity to attend liturgy, prayer and penance services.
Each campus celebrates mass once a week. During the school year there are several times where all the children come together to attend mass. The picture to the left is the celebration held on the Sacred Heart campus.
