FAQ
Q: What makes Saint Brendan School different from my other educational options?
A: Saint Brendan School is a loving community with Christ at the center of all we do. Our greatest attribute is our people. We are fortunate to be surrounded by parents, teachers, priests, and other staff that put our students’ needs above all else.
Q: What curriculum do you use?
A: We follow the Common Core curriculum that has been adopted by the State of Ohio. However, we also have additional requirements set forth by the Diocese of Columbus to enhance and enrich the educational experiences of our students. The curriculum and instruction include comprehensive programs of learning in religion, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, music, art, physical education, health, Spanish, and STEM.
Q: Do I or my child have to be Catholic in order to attend a Catholic School?
A: Catholic Schools warmly welcome students regardless of parish or religious faith. Our school is a community that is rich with religious backgrounds and practices. Students study the scriptures and the tradition of the Catholic faith, participate in Catholic liturgies and, if Catholic, are prepared to receive the sacraments. Non‐Catholic students are expected to participate in liturgies, religious functions, and religion classes that are part of the academic curriculum.
Q: Does Saint Brendan School offer tuition assistance?
A: At Saint Brendan School, we want Catholic education to be affordable to all of our parishioners. Father Penhallurick and Mr. Gruber are committed to making sure no parishioners are turned away due to finances. If your family has a need beyond the assistance we provide, you are encouraged to meet with Mr. Gruber to discuss additional options for your family.
Q: What are the hours of the school day?
A: The school day runs from 8:30am to 3:15pm.
Q: Do you have before and after school care?
A: Our before care starts at 7:00am and runs until the start of school. Our after care starts at 3:15 and ends 6:00pm. There is an additional fee for these programs, and information on these fees and the program as a whole can be obtained by emailing kidszone6@yahoo.com.
Q: Is Saint Brendan Kindergarten a full-day or a half-day program?
