SCES provides our youngest students with a strong academic program, based on the Common Core State Standards, coupled with standards set by the Los Angeles Archdiocese. As our students learn about Jesus and his gospel teachings in Kindergarten, they also grow and develop friendships with peers. Students learn what it means to be a friend, by sharing with and caring for others in a nurturing, supportive and structured classroom environment. Our credentialed Kindergarten teacher has a Masters Degree in Education and nearly 8 years of teaching experience. Our Kindergarten teacher is assisted daily in the classroom by a dedicated Teacher’s Aide.

Our individualized program is designed for students entering Kindergarten at varied academic and developmental levels. SCES utilizes the cutting-edge digital-based IXL English, Language Arts and Math programs, in order to most effectively teach our Kindergarten students the core academic subjects. These programs are aligned with the Common Core State Standards. These unique academic programs provide opportunities for our students to learn to read through an extensive phonics-based language program; and to develop math vocabulary and understanding of number sense and computation, in conjunction with our interactive classroom SmartBoard and iPads.

Kindergarten students participate in Enrichment Classes every week. In addition, our kindergarten students enjoy Spanish, Art, Physical Education and Music classes once a week – each of which is taught by a designated SCES Enrichment Teacher.
Kindergarten students are required to be at least five years of age prior to September 1st of the school year they enter SCES. Our students receive an excellent, well-rounded, Catholic, academic, developmental, and standards-based education, enhancing their inherent enthusiasm for learning, while providing faith formation. SCES students graduate from Kindergarten very well-prepared for continued success in our First Grade and beyond.
