Junior Kindergarten & Kindergarten
at Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart

Our school day starts with a morning run!

Children in school uniforms run across a paved area in the foreground, with a wooden fence, basketball hoops, and parked cars visible in the background.

Our academic program founded on “The Learning Principles for Boys” builds confidence, curiosity, and compassion through joyful discovery in our classrooms,
on the field, and in the forest.

Two young boys give thumbs up next to a wooden trebuchet with a rock on its platform, while other children play in the background on a sunny day.
A young boy in a school uniform rides a red tricycle in the foreground, while other children on tricycles are visible in the blurred background with trees and a fence.

At Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart, every boy in Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten is known, celebrated for who he is, and guided by teachers who understand exactly how boys learn best.

Our JK-8 all boys program allows teachers to choose learning experiences that are specific to boys by selecting engaging topics,  designing well thought out learning spaces and pedagogy. 

Our positive and supportive learning environment for young gentlemen respects each child
and their developmental level and recognizes the unique journey of the whole child.

 

Why Junior Kindergarten 

 Our Junior Kindergarten Program is designed for boys who are ready for more than a traditional preschool experience. It bridges the gap between Pre-K and Kindergarten by combining purposeful play with age-appropriate academics, social-emotional growth, and opportunities to build confidence and independence. Our students leave Junior Kindergarten prepared to thrive in Kindergarten while continuing to enjoy the wonder and excitement of early childhood.

Our early child education program emphasizes developmental growth through play-based learning which focuses on exploration, and social-emotional learning alongside early academics.

Our Forest Program consists of access to 200 acres of conserved open space which serves as a living classroom. Our outdoor classroom feels like weekly field trips into the woods for our young gentlemen to explore, observe, and connect with nature.

Our character development and faith formation begins on day one. Grounded in our five Sacred Heart Goals, faith, creativity, service, community, and responsibility are woven into every aspect of our program.

Spanish language instruction begins in JK. Exposing our young gentlemen to Spanish accelerates brain development, builds an easier path to lifelong bilingualism, and boosts early literacy and problem-solving skills.

Two young boys in school uniforms conduct a science experiment with colorful liquids in the foreground, while a classroom with desks and learning materials is visible in the background.

Our project-based STEAM curriculum combines Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics through hands-on, real-world problem-solving integrated into the early childhood curriculum.

Our campus borders over 200 acres of forest managed by Ridgeview Conservancy. From JK onward, the forest ecosystem is a classroom, a laboratory, and an adventure all at once.
