Early Learning Center

Holy Ghost Catholic School’s Pre-K2, PreK-3, PreK-4, and Kindergarten programs provide a solid foundation and a nurturing environment for social, emotional, and academic development in order to foster life-long learning and deepen faith. Academic activities focus on building confidence, independence, curiosity, and a love of learning. Students are individually assessed to best serve each child’s needs. Students review, build upon, and reinforce the skills and concepts previously learned throughout the year. Students learn through hands-on activities, learning centers, directive play, and small group instruction.

Pre-k2:

Holy Ghost is excited to offer a PK-Two-Year-Old Program in our community.  This class is overseen by the LDOE and follows all state regulations.  It is a wonderful addition to our school, not only for the nurturing environment that it provides, but also for the convenience for parents to bring their youngest children to the same safe campus that their older child may attend. Additionally, the program offers a very low teacher-student ratio.

Various parent and grandparent activities are offered during the year.
