Noonan Elementary Academy recognizes that each child is unique and is committed to providing each student with an individualized plan for educational success and the structure for development of the complete person β mind, body, and spirit. Noonan differentiates itself from other schools by providing the most classroom time, smaller classroom sizes, the broadest curriculum, extensive extracurricular activities and a culture that fosters strong character formation and spiritual growth. To reach maturity, the student must have sufficient self-mastery to form character. At Noonan, respect for parents, teachers and consideration for others is taught. The student experience will foster a sense of responsibility, the ability to give oneself to others in service, integrity in word and deed, and perseverance in difficult tasks. Because we are committed to the spiritual formation of every child, our school day includes morning prayer and daily religion lessons. Mass is celebrated at the school once per week, for students first grade and up; and we provide weekly bible study. At A Glance
