Early Childhood


​The Early Childhood years at Saint Raphael School are filled with the excitement of discovery and lay the foundation for all future learning. Our program welcomes children who are 5 years old on or before September 30th.

Our Kindergarten to grade two curriculum:
  • Emphasizes core values and subjects through hands-on, interdisciplinary instructional strategies
  • Engaging and dynamic learning enhanced by technology and interactive whiteboards
  • Project-based learning allows learning to come alive with increased engagement
Our third through fifth grade curriculum :  
  •  Assist in planning and participate in weekly Mass
  • Receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion
  • From third grade onward, students can become altar servers, adding a special dimension to their spiritual growth.
  • Visit the Perpetual Adoration Chapel in the Spiritual Center
​As students advance through the grades, they gain access to a variety of extra-curricular activities. During the Elementary School years our students can elect grade-level representatives, giving them a voice and fostering leadership skills through our Student Council.
