Education > KINDERGARTEN
We believe students learn best through active learning and positive reinforcement.
Our teachers use a multi-sensory, evidence-based curriculum that goes beyond standards. We assess and appreciate each child's strengths, challenges, individual interests and gifts.
Small group instruction, with one lead teacher and one assistant teacher, allows students to strengthen reading skills and encourages each child to become an independent, respectful, and productive member of the school community.

Using a multi-sensory approach, we help our students articulate ideas, both in conversation and writing. Students practice writing daily, progressively mastering their written skills and applications. Phonemic awareness is taught to help students build a strong foundation for reading. Small classes allow for personalized instruction.

Project Lead the Way (STEM) curriculum provides a truly hands on approach to science that involves real life applications with each unit. Kindergarteners engage in activities that explore the structure and function of design and human body, pushes and pulls as well as animals and algorithms.

The Arts are a pillar of a Saint Mark's education. Evidence shows that developing artistic expression (physical, musical, dramatic) leads to educational gains in math and science.

Saint Mark’s provides a safe and loving environment every day and to me that is priceless. Our children thrived at Saint Mark’s, and we are truly thankful for all the teachers and administrators that helped mold them into the individuals they are today.

The quality of teachers and families is what separates Saint Mark’s from any other school. The education is first class – where our children are pushed to reach their fullest potential, think “outside the box” and learn to become good citizens.
