St. Charles School

• The best-kept secret in Arlington sits in the heart of Clarendon. Saint Charles Early Childhood Education Center offers large sunny classrooms, a full-size gymnasium and a supportive community feel.
• You are invited to visit the open houses at Saint Charles being held in November and January.
• Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Parish has housed a school on this spot since 1909.
• The school is conveniently located close to the Clarendon and Virginia Square metro stations in Arlington.

Morning classes and full-day care are offered. Our youngest students (age 2 by September 30) through Pre-Kindergarten enjoy very small class sizes. The Junior Kindergarten is a full school day (8:30-3:00) targeted to students who are technically of age to go to Kindergarten but would benefit developmentally from another year of preparation as the oldest class of leaders and role models in our school. Our dedicated teachers understand that a caring relationship with a trusted adult is essential to every child`s success. Staff members work hand-in-hand with our parents as partners in the education process.
