Academics
St. Linus Catholic School currently uses a curriculum that is a combination of Common Core Curriculum, Archdiocese of Detroit ELA, Mathematics, & Religion Curriculum, and Michigan State Standards for Social Studies and Science. This allows us to tailor our curriculum to fit the needs of our students, provides a rigorous academic program, and allows further knowledge development throughout the core subjects.

Enrichment
St. Linus Catholic School strives to create a special bond among students, the home, the school, and the parish, so that all share the strong sense of an extended family working together.
