3K – 5th Grade

3K–5th Grade

From a gentle first classroom in 3K to confident, independent learners in 5th grade, St. Mary meets each child where they are — academically, spiritually, and socially. Our strength shows in the environment we create, the passion of our teachers, and our commitment to preparing students for what's next — spiritually, morally, and intellectually.

By program

Meeting each child where they are.

3K

Play-based, half-day & full-day options

A gentle first classroom that nurtures our youngest learners through weekly themes across all subjects, with lots of room for social-emotional growth and confidence.

Full-day

Building the foundations of reading, math, science, social studies, and religion with certified teachers and older-student 'buddy' activities.
