Central Private School

The Upper Elementary students in grades 4-6 transition between Lower Elementary self-contained classrooms and departmentalization.  Students change classroomsfor the core subjects, have several teachers during the day, and have lockers.  The Upper Elementary curriculum continues a strong academic focus through the use of both the A BEKA curriculum and the Story Town reading series.

All students in K-6 are tested each spring using the Stanford Achievement Test 10 which compares our students with students on a national basis.  CPS students consistently score 1-3 grades levels above their national median grade level.

6^th Grade Students were visited by WWII veterans Tom Blakey and Bert Stolier following their unit of study on WWII. 

Blakey served as a paratrooper with the U.S. Army and “jumped” on D-Day behind Nazi lines in Normandy, France.

Stolier was present at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed by Japanese planes in 1941.  He served in the Marine Corp from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay.

Students heard first-hand accounts of what these gentlemen experienced and heard a presentation from Mr. Ronald Abboud with the WWII Museum in New Orleans, LA.

John Kaiser from Placid spoke to Mrs. Raney's 6th grade science class about fractionating columns and how petroleum is purified and divided into fractions.
