School Notes
Welcome to Divine Child Elementary School. We are a Catholic
school dedicated to the development of our students through
the teaching and practice of Christian values in a
challenging academic setting. Divine Child is one of the
largest co-educational Catholic parish elementary school in
Michigan, where boys and girls learn to work together and respect
each other`s gifts and talents. Our classrooms and playing fields
are faith-filled environments where our students grow spiritually,
academically, physically, socially, and creatively. We are excited
that you and your family are considering becoming part of the
Divine Child Elementary School community.
We opened our doors in 1952 and today remain one of the largest
Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit.
Our kindergarten and primary grades, 1st through 3rd grades, are
self-contained with qualified, caring teachers who work with
students of many ability levels (a special class such as art,
music. Spanish, P.E. or computers is offered daily and taught by
other teachers). Students in our intermediate grades, 4th
through 6th grades, have three different teachers for their
academic classes throughout the day, and our junior high classes,
7th and 8th grades, are departmentalized with students having six
different teachers for their six different classes.
Our school day begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. Many
of our students paticipate in clubs, sports and acitivies which
take place after school.
In addition to weekly liturgies, our students attend
Eucharistic Adoration every Tuesday during their religion
class. Divine Child also offers sacramental preparation for
Reconciliation, Holy Communion and Confirmation.
Our students perform well on standardized tests. By the
time our students reach junior high, the class average on the STAR
is at the 70th percentile which is one grade level above
average.
Most of our parents are active in our Parent Guild which
sponsors numerous activities throughout the year. Parents are
required to complete 15 service hours each year.
School tours are available by appointment during the school day
with shadow visits available for 5th - 8th grade applicants.

At last we have a dedicated phone number for suicide and crisis support. The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is 988. More about it and suicide prevention here.
Seemingly never-ending school shootings prompted me to find out whether private schools were safer than public schools. Some answers and opinions on the matter here.
The average private school tuition in Wayne County, MI is $7,798 for elementary schools and $10,540 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
