3 & 4 Year Old
Preschool
At St. John Nepomucene School, our 3-Year-Old and 4-Year-Old Preschool programs provide a nurturing, faith-filled environment where our youngest learners can grow, explore, and discover the joy of learning. Through play-based learning, we focus on developing foundational academic skills while fostering positive relationships, social skills, independence, and confidence.
Our early childhood curriculum introduces students to fundamental math concepts, including number recognition, counting, shapes, patterns, and problem-solving through engaging, hands-on activities. Early literacy and writing skills are developed through Writing Our Catholic Faith, connecting letter formation and writing readiness with our Catholic identity.
Faith formation is an essential part of our preschool experience. Through the Follow the True Way Kids religion curriculum, students begin building a relationship with Jesus while learning about God’s love, kindness, gratitude, and caring for others.
Above all, our preschool program emphasizes learning through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions. We strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where every child feels loved, valued, and excited to learn while building a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond.
Kindergarten – 5th Grade
Elementary School
At St. John Nepomucene School, our Kindergarten–5th Grade curriculum is designed to build a strong academic foundation while nurturing each child’s spiritual, social, and emotional growth. We follow a spiral curriculum approach, allowing students to revisit and build upon essential skills and concepts as they progress through each grade level.
Our core academic programs include Benchmark Advance for Reading and Language Arts and Bridges in Mathematics both of which emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and meaningful learning experiences.
In addition to core academics, students participate in a variety of special classes, including Music, Spanish, Art, Library, Guidance, Religion and Physical Education, providing opportunities to explore their talents, develop new skills, and grow as well-rounded individuals.
Rooted in our Catholic faith, our goal is to inspire a lifelong love of learning while helping every student grow academically, spiritually, and personally.
