Pre-Kindergarten Program
In Pre-K, students learn the basics of how to understand the rules of school and follow classroom procedures that are developmentally appropriate for four and five year olds. They learn social skills like kindness, respect, sharing, being a good friend, and other important life skills. Socialization, being a good listener, and following classroom rules are extremely important components of Pre-K.
Pre-K subjects include language arts, math, social studies, science, and religion. Since this is a Catholic school, we incorporate Jesus and God into many of our lessons to work on our understanding that God always loves us and cares for us. We also do many arts and crafts activities throughout our lessons to help strengthen fine motor skills and express creativity.

Project Lead the Way (PLTW)
St. Peter’s School is a Project Lead the Way (PLTW) STEM school. Project Lead the Way is a leading PreK–12 applied learning curriculum and teacher professional development provider, offering pathways in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science. PLTW provides engaging, high-quality activities and projects that challenge students to apply what they learn in the classroom to solve real-world problems.
