Curriculum

Traditional Curriculum

St. Gabriel follows the diocesan curriculum standards and the Holy See's Teaching on Catholic Schools.   In doing so, we draw on the Church's tradition of education that allows students to joyfully pursue faith, knowledge, wisdom and virtue.  We wish to awaken our students to the wonder, awe and beauty of the universe along with the goodness of heroic virtue.  These ideas promote natural curiosity and create lifelong self-motivated learners.

Academic Profile 2021-2022

St. Gabriel School gives a yearly standardized test to assess the progress of our students. The Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph designates the Iowa Assessment as the instrument to be used by all diocesan schools. The test results give information regarding each student's achievement scores and also provides comparative information in terms of rankings. We receive a national percentile ranking (NPR) which compares our school to all other schools in the nation who took this test at this time of year and other students who took the test at the same time. Student scores are compared to all students which could include such schools as Oak Hill Day School, Pembroke, Barstow, or other prestigious private schools.
