When selecting a school for your child, class size can be one of the most significant factors in determining the quality of their education. At Royalmont Academy, we are committed to maintaining small class sizes because we know it makes a profound difference in both academic and personal growth. Here’s why our student-to-teacher ratio—much smaller than many other local schools—provides a unique advantage for your child’s education.
At Royalmont Academy, current class sizes range from 12-20 students in Grades K-8 and 12-16 students in Grades 4-8, maintaining an overall low student-to-teacher ratio. In comparison, many local Catholic schools, operate with an average 18:1 student-to-teacher ratio, with some classrooms approaching 30 students. This difference allows our teachers to provide individualized attention, ensuring that every student receives the focused instruction and support they need to thrive both academically and spiritually.
Our lower student-to-teacher ratio fosters stronger bonds between students and teachers. When students are known and supported on a personal level, they are more likely to succeed. At Royalmont, teachers serve not just as instructors but also as mentors, helping to guide students through academic challenges and personal growth. In larger classrooms, this personal connection can be harder to achieve, but with small class sizes, our teachers are able to form meaningful relationships that contribute to each student’s overall development.
Small class sizes promote greater student engagement. In larger classrooms, students can easily become disengaged, but at Royalmont, our smaller class sizes mean that students are actively involved in lessons, discussions, and activities. This engagement not only enhances academic learning but also encourages collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, skills that are essential for success in the 21st century.
At Royalmont, faith and learning are intertwined. Small class sizes allow us to integrate Catholic teachings more deeply into daily lessons and discussions. Students at Royalmont don’t just learn academic subjects, they explore how these subjects relate to their spiritual growth and understanding of their faith. In larger classrooms, it can be difficult to create the same level of intimate, reflective conversation. By maintaining smaller class sizes, we provide an environment where spiritual development is just as important as academic achievement.
Smaller class sizes help create a close-knit community where students feel valued and supported by both their peers and teachers. At Royalmont, we strive to cultivate a family-like atmosphere where students not only succeed academically but also develop important social skills like empathy, leadership, and collaboration. This sense of community is something that can be difficult to foster in schools with larger class sizes, but at Royalmont, it’s an integral part of our educational approach.
While other Catholic schools in the area average a 18:1 student-to-teacher ratio, Royalmont Academy’s commitment to small classes ensures a more personalized and engaging learning environment. This commitment to low student-to-teacher ratios helps us deliver not just academic excellence but also holistic formation, preparing students to excel both intellectually and spiritually.
