Holy Family focuses on learning activities that are fun and, at the same time, encourage self-expression, develop social skills, and enhance the cognitive skills necessary for learning beyond Kindergarten.

Pre-School Program

This program is for three and early four-year-olds. Children will participate in activities that enhance age-appropriate spiritual, cognitive, social, and physical development. The setting is a warm environment with supportive teachers who encourage and welcome every child.

Pre-Kindergarten Program

Our four to five-year-old program is intended to ensure that the children are building a strong foundation for kindergarten. The emphasis shifts toward more academic areas of early literacy and math skills. Special concern is given to the small motor skills of pre-writing and cutting.

Religious Development

Our preschool and pre-kindergarten will soon be utilizing a new Montessori based religious education program called Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.  The program allows students to discover the various mysteries found in our scriptures and reflect on the beauty of the liturgies through hands-on activities.  Our mission is to lead children to Jesus by giving them the opportunities they need to know Him personally.

Holy Family children are our Superkids! Our primary teachers have recently introduced a new reading curriculum which has already increased our younger children’s ability to read and write. Superkids is a phonics-based program that works like no other! Your child will become an independent and confident reader, writer and speller.

The learning doesn’t just place in the classroom, either. The Superkids program includes a parent web portal with contains information about what your child will learning during the year, and tips for helping your child practice skills learning in class, and activities to do at home. This new program makes learning to read and write fun!

Primary students also are instructed throughout the week in Spanish, technology, dance, PE, and music. The opportunities our children receive go beyond a solid strong, academic foundation.

Holy Family Intermediate students receive a wide variety of instruction in all content areas.  Students in grades 3-5 are taught to further their basic reading, writing and math skills, and are encouraged to join extracurricular activities.  With access to our new STEM program, a fully equipped science lab and daily technology access, our children are prepared to succeed in every academic area.  All of our students are prepared to collaborate with others, be able to communicate, write and be creative.

Our Junior High students are immersed in so many activities, it’s hard to believe how much they do in one day!  Holy Family junior high rotate classes all day long.  Their academic core courses are taught in all disciplines, as well as Spanish, Art, PE, Dance, and Technology.  Our students participate in leadership opportunities, serve our community, and manage to have fun as well!  Junior High students learn, interact, collaborate and create.

Most importantly, we put the Church and Christ at the center of everything we do.  Religion is a daily subject in all of our classrooms, and the junior high students are prepared for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
