School Notes

St. Albert the Great, a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, draws students from twenty-three different zip codes; and yet, we maintain our close-knit community by fostering close relationships with our students and families.
We offer both Preschool (half and full day programs starting at age 3) and elementary grades, Junior Kindergarten - 8th.
As a Catholic school, we instill in our students a love of Christ, a dedication to service, and a strong desire to learn as we prepare our students academically, socially, and spiritually for high school, college and beyond.
We also have convenient on-site after school care for preschool-5th grade until 6pm during the school year, affordable bus transportation on St. Albert dedicated school buses (JK-8th), and tuition assistance opportunities. To schedule a personal tour or shadow date, contact our school office at (502) 425-1804 or email our Director of Development, Janelle Richardson at [email protected].

PRESCHOOL:
Our Preschool provides a positive, stimulating introduction to classroom education in a warm and loving learning environment. It is developmentally appropriate for our youngest learners, contains a play-based curriculum, and prepares our little Vikings for a smooth transition into Kindergarten. Students need to be fully potty trained and either age 3 by August 1st (Preschool 3's class) or age 4 by August 1st (Pre-K class).
JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN:
Junior Kindergarten is available to children who have completed preschool and turn age 5 by August 1st, but are not ready for kindergarten. These children could benefit from an extra year of social, emotional and/or academic experience before entering kindergaren. Preschool teacher recommendation needed. This transitional class combines play and exploration from Preschool and academic development from Kindergarten.
KINDERGARTEN:
In Kindergarten, each day will be filled with exciting adventures to help your child develop academically, spiritually, and socially. Our kindergarten curriculum is challenging; yet fun, and provides play activities and learning experiences to prepare them for a smooth transition into 1st grade. Students need to be age 5 by August 1st.
1st-8th:
Our elementary grades offer a challenging curriculum with a proven record of scholastic excellence. Our qualified, dedicated faculty help each student reach their full potential. We offer a unique balance of education & faith with an emphasis on Christian values and building a strong spiritual foundation. We do more than prepare students for tests in the classroom. We prepare them for the tests in life.
We are a large Catholic school with 753 students, but one of our greatest strengths is our close community feel! We are committed to the education of the whole child. We offer a balanced curriculum that includes Spanish, art, music, technology, library, and P.E. We have a strong & supportive partnership between our school, parish, students and parent base.
