A Different Way to Learn
Our school embraces the Reggio Emilia approach to education, which aims to nurture each child’s sense of self. We believe that each child is full of knowledge and interests, and we strive to foster that.
OUR CHILDREN
Serving children from 1 year old to 8th grade, our students come from all backgrounds, faiths, and learning abilities. We provide a goals-based, child-centered approach that emphasizes the development of the whole child—nurturing not only academic growth but also social, emotional, and physical well-being.
OUR SCHOOL
First Presbyterian Preschool was founded in 1981 with a mission to provide families with a child-centered early childhood education. In 2020, in response to the needs of our families and with support from First Presbyterian Church, First Presbyterian Elementary was established. Then, in the fall of the 2023-2024 school year, the preschool and elementary school united to become First Presbyterian School. Today, we serve students from 1 year old to 8th grade, welcoming children of all faiths and backgrounds. Committed to the Reggio Emilia approach, our focus is on fostering learning through play and project-based experiences that encourage creativity and exploration.
A Day in the Life at First Presbyterian
Each day is a new opportunity for our students and teachers to learn, explore, and grow. Our teachers model collaboration for our students, and the school day is a combination of play and lessons.
OUR COMMUNITY
Our school is supported by a broad and caring community of parents, family, the local community, and our partners at First Presbyterian Church.
OUR FACULTY AND STAFF
Our faculty and staff are trained in all aspects of child development and education, from early childhood through middle school. Working collaboratively as a team, they are dedicated to supporting and educating our students, ensuring that each child’s unique needs are met at every stage of their learning journey.
