The St. Louis School prekindergarten program provides a nurturing, engaging, and joyfully Catholic environment for young learners. Students grow and learn through hands-on-play and engaging, developmentally appropriate classroom lessons and activities. Teachers use theme and play-based programs to promote development of social/emotional, language, physical, cognitive, and self-help skills, as well as an understanding of God and our faith. Meaningful opportunities encourage young learners in observation, questioning, listening, and praising God. Each child is valued as an individual and guided to graduate from the program kindergarten ready. Founded in 1923, St. Louis School is a coeducational Catholic school providing a high-school preparatory education to approximately 560 students in prekindergarten through 8th grade. We are a community grounded in Catholic teachings, family values, and academic excellence. As a two-time National Blue Ribbon school, our academic philosophy is teaching the whole child in body, mind, and spirit from prekindergarden through 8th grade. St. Louis School is a 2019 Cognia STEM-certified school, integrating lessons on communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity with a focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. From beginning to read to public speaking, counting to advanced mathematics, our students receive an education that inspires a love of learning. This experience leads to self-esteem, responsibility, and accountability.
