School Notes
The Alphonsus Approach
It's Different Here
We offer an incredibly unique educational experience for
students seeking academic rigor and a supportive Catholic community
with exposure to the arts.
We Start in the Classroom
Our early education program is play-based to foster
self-confidence and independence as learners. We offer both full
and half day preschool programs, and we ensure kindergarten
readiness for our graduates. Our elementary program focuses on
emergent and foundational math and reading skills. Through small
class sizes and carefully differentiated curriculum, each student
receives the love and support needed. Two full time guidance
counselors and three focused learning specialists make up our
Student Support Team. This group pushes in and pulls out of
classrooms for increased 1:1 support and encouragement.Our
departmental middle school program prepares students for the rigors
of a college preparatory high school. Students learn in tiered
classes that are best tailored to their learning progress and are
consistently supported by our High School Counselor with eyes on
what is next.
Community Brings it Home
The classroom makes up the majority of our student experience
but our community rounds it out. Involvement in athletics, the
school musical, and enrichment opportunities is highly
encouraged.Parents are regularly volunteering and gathering in
support of the school and its students. Involvement on the school
board, Mothers' and Fathers' Clubs, and even on the playground is
present across the community, and newcomers are always
welcome.
Art Enhances Everything
The arts program includes visual arts, drama, music, and
advanced "pathways" that explore specialty paths within the fields
with a focus on STEM education. Courses include 3D printing,
digital storytelling, paper mache, advanced band, and dance through
generations.We also offer a comprehensive arts-integrated
curriculum which infuses arts (visual, music, theater, media) to
better reach students and challenge them creatively.
Faith is at the Heart
Our Catholic foundation anchors us in practice and service.
Daily prayer, weekly mass, and ongoing service projects remind our
students of our place in this world and responsibility to
others.Come experience the Alphonsus difference
