PRE-Kindergarten
For Children Ages 3 and 4
The Highlands School recognizes that each child is a gift from God. As such, we strive to instill virtues, academics and character formation in a developmentally appropriate way to provide a strong foundation for Christian leadership skills to grow. Our Pre-Kindergarten program has high academic standards but is flexible to meet the needs of each child at his/her developmental stage. We also incorporate Montessori materials that have been proven to develop intrinsic learning and fine motor skills.

Our low student/teacher ratio allows us to give personal attention to each child. By working in small groups, our teachers are able to instruct many different levels, making sure all students’ academic needs are being met. It also allows the teachers to work with different learning styles while still meeting the academic objectives that are necessary to prepare for Kindergarten. Activities leading to Reading and Math readiness are also a large portion of our program.
In this distinctive learning environment at The Highlands School, students know that they are safe and loved, thus feeling secure enough to begin to explore and gain self-confidence in their God-given talents. It is the perfect entry point to prepare for a rigorous Catholic academic life that leads to a successful Highlands graduate.
Our PreK program offers classes from children ages three to five. Children must be age 3 by September 1st to be enrolled in our Pre Kindergarten program. Respectively, students must be age 5 by September 1st.
