Kindergarteners show and share their faith to the community through Faith in Action projects.
Our kindergarteners attend weekly Mass with our older Buddies, weekly Adoration, and receive instruction in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Atrium). Our kinder students also learn and actively participate in many prayer forms: rote prayers, Adoration, the Scriptural Rosary, Mass responses, and spontaneous prayer.
In our Religion program, our studies are based on the five strands of the Diocesan Religion Curriculum: What We Believe, How We Celebrate, How We Live, How We Pray, and Introductory Scripture Knowledge. As Catholic educators, we work to develop a partnership with parents to assure the success of our students and provide continuity between school and home. With a focus on educating the whole child, we address academics with a developmentally appropriate approach as we nurture the spiritual, social and emotional growth and well being of the kindergarten children of Saint John XXIII Catholic School Community.
