"I love the Saint Mark's kindergarten experience.
The teachers are positive, nuturing professionals who have instilled a love for school in all three of our children. They know our children as learners and as people."
-- Betsy Hand (parent of kindergartner, 2nd and 4th graders)
We are committed to starting your kindergartner with a learning program that is appropriately challenging and has a strong foundation of faith and spiritual growth. Your child will benefit from the following:
- Differentiated Instruction that affords each kindergartner the appropriate levels of challenge in such basic subjects as math and language arts. Ever-changing small groups teach the same core lessons, but at a different pace and using different strategies.
- Full and Half-Day kindergarten options that allow you to choose the program that fits your child best. And you can transition from half-day to full day when your child is ready.
- On Site Before & After-School Child Care that helps you find balance between your work and your kindergartner's education.
- Art, Spanish, Music, P.E., and Computer specialists who teach classes as part of the regular curriculum.
- Personalized Attention -- small class sizes ensure your child receives the personal attention that will help him or her thrive.
- Cutting Edge Technology -- each kindergarten teacher has their own laptop, and the school's wireless network allows them and their specialist teachers to make lesson plans more engaging and fun.
- Classroom Buddies pair kindergartners with fourth graders who visit weekly to read, complete art projects and play games. It's not unusual for students to know every buddy team in the class and to trade greetings and hugs in the hallways.
- Wellness Policy, which is our foundation for promoting healthy choices.
- Our Welcome Kit -- download and check out this great overview of our school.
