Serving students from PK-3 through eighth grade, St. Alphonsus provides a strong foundation rooted in faith, character, and a commitment to excellence.

At St. Alphonsus, students are guided by dedicated educators who understand the importance of meeting children where they are. The Pre-K program focuses on building confidence, curiosity, and foundational skills through developmentally appropriate instruction and hands-on learning. As students progress through the elementary and middle school years, they benefit from a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, literacy, math, science, and faith formation—preparing them not just for the next grade, but for life beyond the classroom.  Beyond academics, students are encouraged to develop leadership, compassion, and service through Mass, retreats, enrichment programs, athletics, and community service opportunities.

Academic support is a priority. St. Alphonsus offers a dedicated Dyslexia Lab to provide structured literacy intervention for students who need additional reading support. The school also provides a Math Intervention Program designed to strengthen foundational skills, build confidence, and close learning gaps. These targeted supports ensure that students receive the individualized attention they need to succeed and grow as confident learners.

One of the defining strengths of St. Alphonsus is its close-knit community. Teachers, administrators, and families work together as partners, creating a safe and supportive environment where students feel valued. Small class sizes allow educators to truly know their students, tailor instruction, and provide meaningful academic and emotional support.

St. Alphonsus is also proud to offer the GRACE Program, a special education initiative designed to support students with diverse learning needs. GRACE reflects the school’s belief that every child is created with purpose and deserves the opportunity to thrive. Through individualized instruction, targeted interventions, and a focus on strengths, students in the GRACE Program are empowered to grow academically, socially, and spiritually—while remaining part of the broader school community.
