The embodiment of the PK4 school day is:
• To prepare the students for reading readiness by capitalizing on the “curiosity and enthusiasm of their youth and to enjoy the songs, stories, games, rhymes, and prayers loved by preschool-age children for generations” (Five-Day Junior Kindergarten Curriculum, The Primary Stage, Memoria Press, Copyright 2019).
• Character Training
• Phonological Awareness
• Number Lessons and Spatial Reasoning
• “Games, Music, Poetry, and Prayers provide joy and cultural literacy and are well-suited to the mind and soul of the ‘PK4 student’” (Five-Day Junior Kindergarten Curriculum, The Primary Stage, Memoria Press, Copyright 2019).
Daily Chapel, 30-minutes Daily Physical Education, 15-minutes Recess Daily following Lunch, and Twice Weekly Music and Spanish Classes round out the PK4 school week.
