Mary, St. John the Baptist, SS Peter & Paul and Immaculate Conception Parishes. Currently 178 students are enrolled in Grades Kindergarten

Our curriculum is built
on a solid foundation in basic skills. Religion, writing, and
mathematics are strongly emphasized. Reading and math classes
are held at the same time throughout the school to allow the children
to advance according to their level. Students are able to make more
progress because more time can be given to groups. The concept of
continuous progress has been strongly supported with success by the
Diocese of Allentown, Office of Catholic Education. In some cases,
there will be mixed classes in a particular Math or Reading class
according to Level Placement. There is a great deal of educational
literature supporting this concept not only enabling students to
achieve higher scores in standardized tests but also in fostering
positive self- acceptance. |

-
A Full day Kindergarten program
