St. Michael's Catholic School is a Catholic day school for boys and girls in grades pre-kindergarten through six. Founded in 1936, the school is located in West Memphis, Arkansas, United States. The school is under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Little Rock.

History

St. Michael's School was the first school to be officially established in the city of West Memphis and is the oldest private school in Crittenden County. [Woolfolk, Margaret E. "The History of Crittenden County". Marion, AR, Cross Publishing: 1991] The school opened during the great depression years in order to serve the Catholic population of Crittenden County. The school was originally opened and staffed by the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine, Kentucky. In 1952, the sisters withdrew and the school closed for a period of two years. In 1954, the Olivetan Benedictine Sisters from Holy Angels Convent in Jonesboro, Arkasas, reopened the school. The school initially served grades one through eight. To meet the challenges in education, the school currently serves grades pre-kindergarten through six. Today, St. Michael's is staffed by both Benedictine Sisters and laymen.

Curriculum

St. Michael's School is rooted in the traditional classical education movement and is faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. The school provides a classical education to its kindergarten through sixth grade students that is unique among Catholic schools. Classical education recognizes that all knowledge is interrelated and grounded in the virtues. Recognizing and respecting the natural development of the child, classical education leads the child to discover truth through history, language, science, math, and the fine arts. Students are equipped with the tools of lifelong learning and right judgment following a pattern called the Trivium: grammar, logic, and rhetoric (memorization, analysis, and articulation). In addition to the Trivium, all students study theology and grades four through six study Latin.
