Why Choose St. Patrick's
St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School offers a high quality educational experience in a nurturing environment. St. Patrick’s offers…..
An exceptional faculty
Our teachers are selected carefully on the basis of academic qualifications, experience and the personal qualities each can bring to the school. All full-time teachers have teaching credentials. They are experienced, skilled and dedicated educators who are passionate about working with elementary students.
A strong academic program
Reading, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies form the core curriculum. Multiple teaching strategies and interesting materials support thoughtfully planned lessons and lively hands-on learning opportunities.
A full complement of outstanding enrichment classes
Specialist teachers conduct weekly classes in music, art, computers, physical education, and Spanish with all grade levels.
Thoughtful spiritual and moral development
Academic growth is stressed in a safe caring environment where Christian spiritual and ethical standards are taught and lived. There is a focus on building character and on developing a sense of responsibility for others. All students attend chapel two times a week and participate in biweekly values classes.
An intimate setting
Classes are kept small deliberately. Kindergarten through third grade classrooms have an instructional assistant who work with the homeroom teacher. The small class size and the low teacher student ratio allows for substantial personal attention.
Updated facilities
St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School is comprised of two classroom buildings, the new Canterbury Hall that was completed in late summer of 2005, and England Hall. Canterbury Hall features nine up-to-date classrooms, a covered lunch deck, plus an expanded office area that includes a sick room. England Hall holds classrooms dedicated for art, music, science, and computers as well as the special sixth grade area. There are two large play areas used for recess and physical education.
