Math Specialist
St. Boniface boasts a volunteer math specialist who strives to improve the mathematics achievements of all students through work with individual students and small groups. At the end of the school year, a math fair promoting mathematics as a fun endeavor is held for the whole school in Sippel Hall.
Common Core
Per the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, all grades have adopted the Common Core standards. Emphasis is placed on thinking "outside the box," to problem solve in everyday life.
Tracked Math
In middle school, students are placed into math classes according to their abilities and needs. Some students are placed in a program whereby Pre-Algebra is completed in 8th grade. Others are placed in an accelerated program which allows them to complete Algebra I in 8th grade (normally a Freshman year math class). The mathematics curriculum at St. Boniface School builds an excellent foundation for high school and provides the opportunity for all students to succeed, while feeling confident in their abilities, and proud of their achievements.
Accelerated Reader, STAR, & Early Literacy Testing
St. Boniface employs the Star Testing and Accelerated Reading Program. Students are given STAR Reading and math tests three times per year to measure student growth, and determine accurate reading levels. Students use the web based Accelerated Reader program to find appropriate books within their level.

Daily activities include practicing common vocabulary terms and phrases, comprehending a wide range of grammar patterns, participating in simple conversations, and learning cultural practices in Spanish-speaking countries. Each lesson builds upon the last with the goal of preparing our students to take Spanish in high school.
