Learning
St. Philip Neri School empowers each child in our school to learn and grow and to be and bring the good news. Our goal for our students is to improve each day, work hard, and love to learn. We instill confidence in each child by providing individualized attention, using personalized testing to provide a differentiated learning experience for our students. Take a closer look at all that we offer.
Pre-K & K
St. Philip Neri’s preschool program is an exceptional community for three and four-year-old students which inspires a love for learning and a strong start to their elementary school journey. All parts of our preschoolers’ day present opportunities for learning, and our teachers know the curriculum content and instructional strategies that meets each students’ learning and social emotional needs. In our compassionate learning environment, our preschoolers gain the academic skills they need for success in kindergarten and beyond.
Grades 1-4
We believe students learn best when they are known and loved. Therefore, our academic program is built on creating a positive, structured environment where teachers hold students to high expectations and work to understand students as individual learners. Teachers then work with the students to continuously push students to learn and grow. Students in Grades 1-4 are receiving a strong foundation in reading, math, science and social studies. We use I-Ready testing to learn the strengths and challenges that each student has and then shape their learning experience based on the results.
Grades 5-8
Students in Grades 5-8 are considered Jr. High and switch classes for their core subject areas of reading, math, science and social studies. The goal is to prepare students for their high school experience by providing a solid foundation. We are proud that our 8th graders consistently are accepted into top area high schools.
