Inspire. Lead. Teach with purpose.

The Elementary Education (BS) program at the University of Holy Cross prepares future educators to foster stewardship by giving of themselves with their time, treasures, and talents, to make a meaning impact in classrooms across Louisiana.

Designed for those called to teach learners in grades 1-5, this program blends strong academic preparation with hands-on experiences in real school settings. While course work provides a solid foundation in content and pedagogical knowledge, the multiple opportunities for in-person training through field experience will you apply skills in real learning environments and develop dispositions necessary to be effective educators.

The final two semesters, students complete a one-year residency under the guidance of a certified mentor teacher to refine their craft and step into the profession fully prepared to lead their own classroom.
