Committed to the benefits of co-education from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12, Shrine Catholic Schools includes one of only four parish-based co-educational high schools in the Archdiocese. By emphasizing respect and the dignity of all, graduates are prepared to work cooperatively and collaboratively with their peers, as children, as young adults, in college, and throughout their lives. A robust Grade School program leads into exemplary Academy and High School programs that are small by design. Students at each distinct level of schooling reap the benefits of individualized attention in a safe and nurturing environment, allowing them to recognize fully their God-given gifts and talents.
Shrine Catholic Schools challenge our students to achieve excellence in academics, athletics, the arts, service to others and leadership, all while giving glory to God the Father and exemplifying the mission of Jesus Christ through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
At Shrine Catholic Grade School, we exemplify Christ through praying, learning, and growing together.
A family’s first encounter with Shrine Schools can be as part of our Parent/Tot Class. We invite 2-year-olds and their caregivers to join us in classes taught by our preschool director. These classes will be filled with delight and discovery. Your initial experience of Shrine Schools' philosophy will begin here.
Our Early Childhood Center opened in the fall of 2017. It is fully licensed by the state of Michigan. Our new, state-of-the art facility allows us to offer programing for Parent/Tot, Preschool 3 and Preschool 4.
Parent/Tot Program
Must be 2 years of age
Options for Parent/Tot Class time are currently being evaluated based on space availability within our school.
We believe that for a child to meet their greatest potential, they need to feel important, accepted, and welcomed. In our Early Childhood Center, each child’s self-esteem and emerging identity as God’s own child is affirmed. We believe that because each child grows at their independent pace, it is our job to teach them at their individual level of readiness. We build on the child’s own knowledge and questions through brainstorming, inquiring, classifying, and cooperating. All of this occurs through multi-sensory experiences while providing an atmosphere of playful learning and discovery.
The teachers and staff at Shrine Early Childhood Center understand that parental involvement is key to a child’s success in school. Frequent parent communication builds community and gives each child the greatest potential for success. As part of our communication, we are excited for our “daily wrap-ups” at the end of each school day. This is a time for your child’s teacher to share with you all the activities your child participated in on any given day. The teachers will also share research-supported information backing up the daily curriculum.
For our evaluation tools, we use daily documentations, portfolios, and assessments. Parents will meet formally twice a year for conferences, yet an open communication will be ongoing throughout the year. We believe providing students with these tools enables them to walk confidently from the preschool hallway into the Grade School when their preschool experience has ended.
