Proficient Learners


Students at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School enter the early grades ​at a significant disadvantage compared to their peers at wealthier ​schools. They face the dual challenges of learning English as a second ​language and often lack access to books and technology at home. The ​pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges, as many students ​fell even further behind during distance learning.

These gaps mean we devote considerable effort in the early years to ​help students catch up academically. Despite these obstacles, our ​students make consistent progress through a supportive and intensive ​learning environment. Although they may remain behind their peers ​for some time, by the time they leave our school in eighth grade, they ​have successfully caught up and are well-prepared for the rigors of ​high school. This achievement is a testament to their hard work, ​resilience and the dedication of our educators.
