In a digital-first world, cursive writing remains a powerful tool for learning. Research shows that handwriting strengthens brain development, memory, and critical thinking in ways typing cannot. At St. Victor School, we teach cursive as part of a balanced educational philosophy—embracing innovation while holding on to proven practices that help students think deeply, communicate clearly, and learn with purpose.

At St. Victor School, we believe Catholic education is an investment — one that grows stronger over time. Like a sunflower, when children are given the light, care, and support they need, they bloom. Financial assistance helps ensure access to a faith-filled education where every child is welcomed, nurtured, and given the opportunity to grow alongside a diverse and caring community.

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.

At St. Victor School, every big dream begins with a Little Charger.

St. Victor School, middle school teacher Mr. Contreras brings abstract learning to life through hands-on, faith-based projects that inspire critical thinking and creativity.

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.
