Vicksburg Catholic Schools — St. Francis Xavier Elementary: Case Study

Like many other schools, St. Francis Xavier Elementary School was using a basic science program filled with lots of "fluff." School administrators knew their previous program was wasting precious time in the classroom. So in 2007 Nancy Larson^® Science was selected to be the new science program for the private school because it was workable, thorough, student friendly, amd most importantly, to the point.

The school started with Science 1 and is now also using Science K, Science 2, and Science 3. For the past two years the fourth graders have been field testing Science 4. Third grade teacher and parent of two, Tiffany Keen has seen first hand her students and her own children succeed and excel as they progress to the next grade levels.
