A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR GROWTH
Our primary school offers a nurturing environment where academic, spiritual, and community values come together to help your child thrive. With small class sizes (average 24 students), every child receives personalized attention and becomes part of a close-knit community.
In the early grades, there is a great emphasis on building upon core concepts with the use of differentiation. Faith formation includes daily prayer, weekly Mass, monthly Virtues Program, and Prayer Partners Program, which matches older and younger students for Mass and other activities.
- 1st-grade students choose a Patron Saint to study and give an oral presentation to the school on All Saint Day.
- 2nd-grade students lead daily school-wide prayers as they prepare for 1st Pennance and 1st Holy Communion
- 3rd-grade students are assigned a U.S. state for a year-long study culminating in a State Fair, where they showcase their projects to parents and classmates.
