St. Paul Junior Fours Program

The St. Paul Junior Fours Program provides a developmentally appropriate academic and spiritual enrichment preschool program to best prepare four-year-olds for Junior Kindergarten. The St. Paul Junior Fours program is specifically designed to help four-year-olds gain confidence and succeed in critical early social and academic milestones, while also providing a warm, loving, and nurturing environment for students to build friendships that will last a lifetime. 

The St. Paul pillars of Academic Excellence, Passion for Christ, and Leadership Development will be the foundation for inspiring your child's educational journey. The academic curriculum is engaging, and age-appropriate, following the best practices in early childhood education.
