Curriculum

Each of the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis develop its own curriculum in response to local needs in alignment with:

• National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools:  Click here.
• State of Indiana Academic Standards: https://www.in.gov/doe/students/indiana-academic-standards/
• Archdiocesan Religion Standards: Click here.

School administrators are required to administer the state assessments: https://www.in.gov/doe/students/assessment/. In addition, each school also uses other formative and summative assessment tools such as the Assessment of Children/Youth Religious Education (ACRE), Acuity, and Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA), for example, to help identify the needs of individual learners and to partner more effectively with parents.
