Thank you for visiting our admissions page. As you scroll through you will read about our schools.
Committed to the benefits of co-education from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12, the Shrine Catholic Schools’ environment, which includes one of only four parish based co-educational high schools in the Archdiocese, educates our students in a real world setting. 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.

We believe 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 at the same time!
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 by providing students with these tools, they will be able to walk confidently from the preschool hallway into the grade school when their preschool experience has ended.
