Curriculum Program

GMC is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA).

Students in Grades. 2-8 take the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) each school year in the fall so that the staff can plan more effective lessons based on student needs. Also, students in Grades 5 and 8 take the Assessment of Catholic Religious Education (ACRE) midyear, the results of which are used to analyze the effectiveness of the religion program.

As part of the religion curriculum, students  study "family life" and participate in school and class Masses, as well as daily prayer and special services on holy days and for other special occasions. Service to the community is an essential part of this religion curriculum and students participate in activities at the local soup kitchen, with the elderly, with young adults with special needs, and at the convalescent homes.

Students are taught a "core curriculum" of language arts (English grammar and literature, composition, spelling, vocabulary [3-8], phonics [K-2], handwriting [K-4], mathematics up through Algebra I in Gr. 8, social studies, science, and of course, religion (daily classes). Physical education, music and art, and computer education are also taught.
