Pre-K | Kindergarten | First Grade | Second Grade | Third Grade | Fourth Grade | Fifth Grade



Pre-Kindergarten is a full day program for students who are four years old by September 15. The program will build a foundation for the curriculum of the elementary grades at The Cathedral School and will integrate key concepts of cognitive, spiritual, and social growth for young children. Central themes will guide children through developmentally appropriate play, indoor and outdoor, while focusing on language arts, math, science, and social studies. Themes are taught in a nurturing environment through large and small groups times, hands-on manipulatives and center-based learning. A special focus will be placed on music as the children sing and move each day. Rhythmic moving and enjoyment of songs will connect with language arts and math skills.

Our daily schedule will include a variety of activities that give children a balance between active working times and quiet restful times. Morning work inlcudes morning meeting, Handwritng Without Tears, journal writing, center time, snack time, outdoor play, and lunch. Afternoon includes story time, rest time, center time, snack time, and outdoor play. Students will also participate in all of the Specialists classes which build the backbone of the program at The Cathedral School including religion and chapel, character education, art, Spanish, library, computers and physical education. Students attend chapel once a week that is specifically geared to Pre-Kindergarten students. Morning Prayer is every day in the classroom.

The Pre-Kingergarten day gives students a chance to play and work in learning centers such as housekeeping, block building, art, writing, reading, science and discovery, and math. These centers encourage active exploration and independence while they support our themes, skills, and concepts that are taught throughtout the year. Foundations for building relationships, problem solving, oral and written communications and math skills are a large part of each day.
