St. Katharine Drexel Academy is a proud partner of the iDEAL Institute at Loyola Marymount University. During the next few years, Drexel teachers are training to earn schoolwide certification as a Blended Learning Next Generation Science & Technology Catholic School. At Drexel, NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) form the foundation of our project-based, integrated curriculum. With the assistance of online resources, teachers personalize instruction and assessment to meet each student’s learning needs in a station rotation, blended learning environment.
