A full-day program is available for all Kindergarten students. It builds on the pre-school experience to provide a solid foundation for your child’s successful achievement in education. Students attend weekly specialty classes in Spanish, computers, art, music, library, and physical education, in addition to classroom subjects in language arts, mathematics, social studies and science. Students also learn to work independently as well as in small groups.

Curriculum guidelines for all subjects are provided through the Department for Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Pittsburgh and meet all Pennsylvania State Education Requirements. Subjects include Catechetics, Computer, Fine Arts, including art, music, band (beginning in 4^th grade), Language Arts, including reading, writing, and spelling, Library, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and World Languages. Each grade level provides a successive program of foundations to prepare each student for the next level. Catholic students in Second grade will prepare for Reconciliation and receive their First Holy Communion.

Middle school aged children are unique in their academic, social, physical and emotional needs. Our program addresses each of these areas with sensitivity as we prepare our students for their high school experience and beyond. Teachers guide the students to become independent, secure young adults capable of making good decisions. Students are introduced to the basics of Algebra, Chemistry, Biology and Physical Science, to World Cultures and World Geography and U.S. History, and Spanish. Students in Eighth grade prepare for and will receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Saint Wendelin School graduates are well prepared and highly successful whether attending public or Catholic high school.
