Pre-K
Pre-K for 3 and 4 year olds
We offer 3- and 4-year-olds a blend of Montessori work-based education and traditional schooling. The Montessori program dovetails beautifully into the mission of the school. The classroom is designed to complement the child’s natural development and meet the need for both order and freedom. The teachers encourage each child’s growth as an independent problem solver in individual as well as group work.
Grade School
Kindergarten through 5th grade
The elementary grades at Kingswood focus on a classically based curriculum. Students’ core subjects include reading, writing, mathematics, history, and science. Kingswood’s curriculum also includes Latin and Greek roots instruction through beginning in 4th grade through the 8th grade. Students build upon the knowledge they learned the previous year. Education of the whole person is the focus of Kingswood. Our curriculum is rooted in the Catholic faith and students are encouraged to seek a relationship with Our Lord not only through daily religion classes, but through attending weekly Mass and Adoration.
Middle School
6th grade through 8th grade
To prepare the students for high school, we strengthen writing skills across all areas of the curriculum through writing assessments, literature essays, historical perspective responses, and a formal science fair paper. Students develop analytical and logical-reasoning skills through a rigorous curriculum in mathematics and an in-depth review of English Grammar, including the practice of diagramming to evaluate the proper function of words in sentences. The students practice public speaking through oral presentations at the yearly science fair, poetry recitals, Shakespearean plays, and presentations in History class. Latin and Greek roots instruction continue.
