Elementary Education (K-6)

If you have a passion for teaching and a love for life, knowledge, and truth, you belong in our Elementary Education major! Rooted firmly in Catholic theology and philosophy, you’ll develop the skills, experience, and confidence you need to teach in any learning environment. AMU graduates are in such high demand for teaching roles we simply can’t keep up. We need you!

1. A Foundation in Catholic Education. You’ll enjoy learning the philosophical and theological insights of the Catholic tradition, especially its understandings related to the nature and dignity of the human person, the nature of Truth and the unity of all knowledge as ultimately rooted in the order of creation and God.

2. Teaching Best Practices. You’ll have access to the latest teaching standards, which will prepare you for a variety of classroom situations and make you a highly desirable educator.

3. Classroom Experience. By the time you graduate, you will have spent about 40 full days as an aide in at least three different schools over the course of three semesters and another full 14 weeks of student teaching.
