TK to 4th Grade: Fostering Growth, Faith, and Lifelong Learning at Alverno Heights Academy
Transitional Kindergarten through Fourth Grade is a time for children to expand their love of learning, their ability to get along with others, and their interest in reaching out to the world. The children are involved in a classroom that is a loving and nurturing environment while engaging in daily activities that help foster their development and growth in the areas of academic, social, emotional, and gross/fine motor skills.

They occur in classrooms, among faculty and students in the hallways, and at our weekly prayer service with Deacon Manuel Valencia and monthly student-led masses.
