At our Catholic School, we strive to provide:

• Academic Excellence  -- From 3-year-old preschool through 8th Grade, our students excel in a challenging, diverse academic curriculum that is aligned with the New Illinois Learning Standards and incorporates the Common Core State Standards.  Academic subjects include Religion, Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Technology, Physical Education, Art and Music.

• Moral & Spiritual Development - Students get a balanced curriculum for spiritual and moral development, growing in wisdom by learning to think critically about their beliefs, growing in faith through communal worship and developing a lifelong commitment to civic engagement for social justice.

• A Supportive Educational Environment for All - St. Richard Catholic School provides a safe, orderly and loving learning environment where all children understand their worth through the eyes of God and recognize that worth in their peers.

• A Community of Families - Our school is a community of diverse families finding common ground in order to nurture growth and love as they raise children side-by-side.

• An Affordable & Wise Investment for the Future - Thanks to several tuition assistance programs, a Catholic school education is within reach for all families. And it's truly an investment of a lifetime for all students, leading to success in high school, strength of character and lifelong friendships.
