The curriculum at Holy Cross Lutheran School consists of the recognized and standard courses taught in elementary school and observes the state’s essential elements in subject matter and instructional time.

The textbook publishers selected to support our high quality of education include Harcourt, Saxon Math, Zaner-Bloser, Voyages (Bible), and Wright. The Shurley Method of Grammar, Accelerated Reader and the D’Nealian style of handwriting are taught.

Our students study the Bible, reading, English, spelling, handwriting, math, science, social studies and history. All students attend music, choir, PE, art, library and computer classes each week. Students in Kindergarten and one through six also attend Spanish class once a week.
