Schoolwide Learning Expectations (SLE’s)

The SLEs of St. Madeleine Sophie School are statements of what a student should know, understand, value, and be able to do by the time they are ready to leave us and enter high school.  These learning outcomes are collaboratively developed, regularly reviewed, and represent the focus of the entire school community and beyond.

St. Madeleine Sophie is committed to providing the highest quality education in a nurturing environment, rooted in Catholic Faith and moral values.  We aim to develop leaders through meaningful service, instill lifelong learning skills, and equip students and graduates to meet the challenges of a diverse and complex world.
