Charger Chronicle

Belonging is at the heart of St. Victor School. From strong academics—where 85% of students meet or exceed state standards—to collaborative classrooms, cherished traditions, and a community rooted in faith, every child is known, supported, and inspired to grow. Belonging here means your child is welcomed as they are and nurtured as they become their best self.

Discover how St. Victor students practice gratitude through meaningful service projects this Thanksgiving. Our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders share early updates: writing letters to troops, decorating Thanksgiving meals with Loaves & Fishes, and recycling cans to support Dominican Scholarships. These projects reflect our Catholic values and whole-child learning approach.

Each November, St. Victor School celebrates a joyful month of reading through our Read-A-Thon and Scholastic Book Fair. These traditions nurture lifelong learners, spark curiosity, and strengthen our Parent Partnership. Students explore new stories, families read together, and our community comes alive with a shared love of books.

At St. Victor School, every big dream begins with a Little Charger. Our preschool and kindergarten programs balance play-based exploration with a strong academic foundation in phonics, literacy, and social-emotional learning — helping every child grow in confidence, faith, and curiosity as a lifelong learner.

At St. Victor School, tradition meets innovation in our 5th grade math classroom. By adopting Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS), students are making their thinking visible on shared whiteboards, collaborating with classmates, and gaining real-time feedback from teachers. This hands-on, research-backed approach builds confidence, critical thinking, and deeper understanding—helping every Charger learn by doing.
