Lower School

St. Michael’s Prep is a joyful place to be, both for children and adults! We hope you will visit our school community. As our students like to say to each other, ‘Come join us!’

The Lower School is a warm, welcoming place where children experience great joy: from the moment they enter Founders Hall each morning, through morning prayer and weekly Mass; as they play in daily physical education; create in art and music classes; serve others in the community; learn about the Catholic faith in religion classes; and grow and develop in their core academic subjects with their homeroom teachers. 
 
Our students learn under the loving and watchful guidance of an outstanding and innovative faculty that is well-versed in Social Emotional Learning, differentiation and STEAM practices. Our teachers are focused on delivering a responsive and challenging curriculum that meets the unique needs of all learners. Through project based and service learning, our students apply skills learned in the classroom to address real world problems. This integrated approach has a profound and enduring impact, shaping the hearts and minds of our students.
 
The Lower School prepares students to develop critical and divergent thinking. Guided Reading and Writing Across the Curriculum, the K-8 model used at St. Michael’s Prep, is introduced in kindergarten along with our Eureka Math curriculum that focuses on a deep conceptual understanding that builds enduring knowledge. Innovative technology education is woven throughout each curricular strand as students increase their skill and capacity with technology as a tool for support in all areas of study. Students charge ahead fearlessly and creatively while exploring new ideas.
Students at every level discover passions and develop talents through rotational classes of Art, Music, Spanish and Religion. Weekly visits to the library and daily physical education enrich the education of the whole child—mind, body and spirit.
St. Michael’s Catholic Preparatory School maintains dual accreditation by Independent Schools of the Southwest and the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops.
