This year we are offering an additional JUNIOR PRE-K PROGRAM: 5-day, half day option at our Lower School (K-4) to support families that might be seeking a stimulating academic environment. This Pre-Kindergarten program is responsive to a student’s unique temperament and developmental needs. Rich, age-appropriate experiences and versatile materials satisfy a child’s curious nature and support his or her development and growth. We need a minimum of six (6) students to offer this additional class.
The annual tuition is $3,900 (prorated and based on start date) and we offer a sibling discount.
A parents perspective on the program:
“Our Lucy has grown leaps and bounds at the St. Paul’s Junior K. This last week she started in Kindergarten and finished reading her first chapter book. Ms. Dizon and the team at St. Paul’s has put her on the right footing for academic success.”~ Rachel & Dusty Gulleson (Parents at St. Paul’s Academy)
