About

welcome to St. Agnes School

As Lake Placid’s only early elementary learning center, we meet the academic, social, and developmental needs of young students whose parents want their children’s first school experiences to be great ones. We welcome children age 3 to grade 3. Our faculty is comprised of exceptional, mid-career lead teachers and talented teachers' aides, all of whom are committed to differentiated instruction and supporting the development of academic and social skills for current and future school success. We celebrate diversity, value cultural responsiveness, and practice social responsibility. Our students come from diverse cultural, economic, and faith backgrounds.

Core subjects are complemented by enrichment opportunities, including art, music, French, and the SPARK after school and summer camp programs.

At St. Agnes, we:

• Provide a safe, caring, family like environment, one that welcomes parental involvement

• Awaken a lifelong love of learning through a blend of traditional and progressive educational approaches

• Encourage creativity, cooperation, and confidence in the classroom

• Emphasize literacy, often resulting in our students reading well beyond their grade levels

• Offer three signature programs, including GAP (Growth Achievement Program), SEL (Social-Emotional Learning), and SPARK (STEM, Play, Art & Recreation for Kids)

I invite you to look through our welcome book and curriculum guide. We look forward to your family joining our vibrant learning community.

Sincerely,

Katie Turner, Principal
