Could it be that 5 year-old children can be dynamic learners who are thrilled to learn about the pyramids of ancient Egypt, the value of the units in the tens place, and the story of Gideon battling the Midianites?
If you agree, then you will be interested in having your child receive a Catholic, classical education at Holy Family Academy. At the grammar stage of the classical trivuum, students love to absorb knowledge and revel in their own ability to process through it. A good classical program has for its youngest students a language element steeped in phonemic awareness, and a literary emphasis rich in facts and fancies. We teach Spalding's The Writing Road to Reading, and kindergarten students are immersed in a stimulating program of reading, history, Latin, math, science, and, most especially, religion.
"We were blessed to have a daughter in kindergarten last year. It was a joy to see her learn to read and write so well. She thrived in the nurturing Christ centered environment. We are amazed by how much she has grown in knowledge and virtue!"

The focus on religion as the integrating principle is the reason we can say that classical education is “an education for eternity”. Come see this surprisingly sophisticated learning take place in a totally age-appropriate manner and see the wonder on our students' faces as they get to experience it.
SCHOOL DAYS: MONDAY - FRIDAYWhat this schedule doesn't say is how much fun we have learning!
We also sing, dance, chant, cook, work hard and have fun doing it!
