Curriculum

Our Religion curriculum introduces students to the Saints and symbols of the Catholic Church through hands-on activities and age-appropriate crafts. Students also attend a monthly chapel visit to begin exposing them to the various elements of our church and the mass.
Language Arts
Our Language Arts curriculum focuses on recognizing letters and the sounds they make. Students will also learn about rhyming, syllables, and other various pre-reading skills in order to prepare them for Kindergarten. Students in Early 5’s also work on direct draws throughout the year to build fine motor skills and complete writing journals to reinforce letter learning.
