Second Grade in Science Lab learning about chemical reactions.

Science Lab

Our Science Lab is located in our newest wing on campus, John Paul II Hall. It was built as a state-of-the-art, first Silver Level LEED private grade school building West of the Mississippi River.

John Paul II Hall houses our Library, Media Center and Science Lab. These interconnected rooms allow each student to follow the scientific method from start to finish in one comprehensive learning center. Each grade has a hands-on Science Lab at least once a week in addition to their regular science class curriculum.


Technology

Holy Redeemer is committed to providing each of our students with the tools and technology needed for their educational journey. We offer a one-to-one ratio of Chrome Books and/or IPads for our students at each grade level. Whether they are used at home, in their classroom, or in our Media Center, HR students have the tools necessary to thrive.

Eighth Grade studies in our Media Center (upgraded in 2021) with their individual school issued Chrome Books.

The Invention Convention & Science Fair

Holy Redeemer hosts an annual Science Fair or Invention Convention, on alternating years. The Science Fair is open to Elementary through Middle School with the Invention Convention exclusive to Middle School. Both events create a space where our students are engaged and use real-world applications by applying the STEM engineering process.

Students identify the problem, working individually or in groups to plan a solution, create a model, test the model and redesign with improvements, repeating if necessary. This one event is the capstone of the year with students using cross-disciplinary knowledge while building foundational life skills.


Mathematics

Holy Redeemer offers a challenging and accessible mathematics education. Our grade-appropriate curriculum includes numeration, patterns, algebra, data concepts, measurement skills and concepts, financial literacy, geometry, and trigonometry. Incorporating these concepts at an early age is essential for developing critical thinking and reasoning skills which ensures foundational success in their academic career and beyond.
