A nurturing, purposefully prepared environment where children ages 3–6 build independence, concentration, and joy in learning. Rooted in Montessori principles, our Primary classroom, also referred to as Children's House, fosters early literacy, numeracy, and practical life skills through hands-on exploration and gentle guidance.
In this dynamic stage, children transition from concrete to abstract thinking, exploring language, mathematics, history, and science through integrated, self-directed work. The Montessori approach honors their growing curiosity and moral development, fostering responsibility and love of learning.
Designed for the reasoning mind and social awareness of older children, this program deepens academic rigor while cultivating leadership, collaboration, and spiritual growth. Students engage in meaningful research, service, and reflection—preparing them for adolescence with confidence and grace.
A beautiful, contemplative approach to faith formation for children ages 3–12, offered to both enrolled families and the wider community. In the sacred space of the Atrium, children encounter Scripture and Liturgy through hands-on materials and quiet reflection, fostering a deep, personal relationship with Christ.
A gentle introduction to Montessori for children ages 0–3, with a parent or caregiver present. This program supports early development through movement, language, and practical life activities.
Students experience a creative environment that fosters and promotes open opportunities for them to pursue their unique interests. This approach nurtures the individual gifts that each child brings to the school while helping them grow socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.
