A Catholic education provides students with a challenging curriculum that is rigorous, relevant, and above all, rooted in the Catholic faith. Saint Bernadette School follows the approved curriculum of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, in compliance with what has been set forth by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. For nearly ten years, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has partnered with the international Center for Leadership in Education. The Center examines our curriculum to ensure our students gain the appropriate learning skills and abilities each year. In addition, we work closely with the Partnership for 21^st Century Skills to guarantee our schools and academic programs are equipped with the strongest instructional tools available.

With emphases on learning, self-improvement, spiritual well being, and inter-personal relationships, our Philadelphia Catholic Schools focus on equipping students with the skills needed to become respectful, contributing members of society. Our teachers are dedicated to the academic and moral development of all students, ensuring each child receives the attention they deserve to be able to reach their full potential. Each grade’s curriculum has been specifically designed with these things in mind.
