- School Motto: Everything for every student... every day!
- School Mascot: Angel
- Ages 3, 4, 5 Pre-K: Our balanced approach to education includes teacher-led instruction and center-based learning through play. We educate the whole child: body, mind, and spirit. Faith and family values are the underpinnings of our curriculum. We partner with our families to provide the very best caring and high-quality educational environment to empower children with 21st Century skills.We are really enjoying our brand, new, state of the art preschool building across the street from main campus!Our Elementary Education Program (K-3), begins in Kindergarten and concludes with our Bridge Program (4th & 5th grade), it is a period of exciting, accelerated development and learning for your child. Building upon the first few foundational blocks established in Littlest Angels, our Primary Program (K-3) nurtures independent thinking through academic inquiry, embracing the uniqueness of self and others, collaboration with peers, introduction of Christian values rooted in Catholic tradition, and work habits. As our students grow and venture into our Bridge Program (4th-5th), they take all the skills and habits they have learned in our K-3 Program and apply their abilities to learn new challenges and experiences in our Bridge Program.ElementaryWorking daily with engaged classmates and caring teachers who know their budding strengths and potential (and temporary) limitations, your student is quickly and confidently adding new visions and skills in English Language Arts, in Mathematics, in Social Studies, in Technology, and in so much more to their growing academic foundation, even as they are learning new and unexpected things about themselves every day.In addition to equipping your son or daughter to be successful in the classroom, we also provide Elementary Education Program students with unique service opportunities that enable them to apply their Christian values for the betterment of those in need throughout our local and global communities.The elementary school years really are an exciting time for our students and we feel very fortunate to play such a significant role in your child's growth as a student, a person, and a Christian.Our Bridge Program is a transition program for our 4th and 5th graders to get prepared for their junior high years. Our Bridge Program prepares our students to continue to build and apply academic skills in English Language Arts and Mathematics; discover their innate talents and abilities; grow in personal self-confidence; seek to understand their own role in the Catholic Church; think more critically about questions inside and outside the classroom, and develop the individual study habits and learning behaviors necessary to succeed in 5th through 8th Grade.In our Bridge Program our 4th and 5th graders are exposed to managing multiple subjects and teachers while learning time management and self confidence tactics in their faith-based daily experience at Saint Ambrose School. Our Bridge students learn to REACH even more during this time of education and they are able to be role models to our younger elementary students in school-wide projects and events.Our Bridge Program, highly prepares our students for our HSP Middle School Program where they will learn all the facets of our Saint Ambrose Portrait of Graduate!More so than any other grade level, we believe the High School Prep Middle School experience is fundamental to the long-term success of Saint Ambrose School students and the completion of the Portrait of A GraduateBeginning in 6th Grade, High School Middle School Prep Program (HSP) completes your child's Saint Ambrose School education by methodically equipping them with the final intellectual and emotional tools, strength of character, and varied life skills they will need to thrive as both a high school student and human being.HSP Mission: "HSP empowers independent thinking through personal accountability, while embracing the uniqueness of self and others, dynamic communication, Christian values rooted in Catholic tradition, daily work ethic, and a healthy competitiveness, both in and out of the classroom."Our HSP Mission clearly defines what we teach our students to complete by the end of their journey of the Portrait of a Graduate.PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE MODELBeyond challenging academics across a variety of core courses like ELA, Algebra Geometry, Science and Social Studies, we offer diverse encore classes as Spanish, Project Lead the Way (PLTW), Public Speaking, Economics, Graphic Design, Music and Fine Arts.We continue to strengthen our commitment to a strong Fine Arts program, which includes graphic arts, performing arts, vocal music, concert band and more.HSP provides an integrated Service Learning Program, allowing our students to further enhance and mature their social awareness.HSP affords students mentoring opportunities monitored and managed by faculty and staff, where they can develop and practice positive leadership traits while guiding Saint Ambrose School students in lower grades.
