Curriculum

        The lessons your child will learn both academically and socially in their primary learning experience will become the building blocks that will support his/her social development throughout your child s life. We believe that it is important that curriculum teach students how to learn, not just what to learn. By providing a holistic environment, which promotes multiple intelligences and cooperative learning, each child will have an opportunity to explore education through experimentation and experience.

        Saint Francis Cathedral preschool offers a holistic approach to the preschool learning experience. The curriculum has been designed to accommodate multiple intelligences. Each lesson is translated into a series of discovery centers through which each child is able to receive and absorb the following areas:
