Pre-K through 5th Grade Education Programs: 

Pre-Kindergarten through to Kindergarten:

Developmental education anchors Carey’s youngest students. In these early, formative years, students participate in a play-based, child centered environment that focuses on the whole person.

We introduce more formal academics during the elementary school years, laying foundations in reading, language arts, math, social studies, history, and study skills. We balance this challenging, basic education with enrichment programs in Spanish, French, science, art, music, physical education, and library skills for all students, and offer accelerated studies as appropriate.

- Pre-K through to 5th Grade Curriculum includes:  
Math; Reading; Writing; Social Studies; Art; Foreign Lanuages; Library Studies; Music; P. E.; Science; Technology; Daycare & After School Enrichment.
