Providing exceptional Catholic education since 1958.
As parents, you work very hard and make many sacrifices to offer your child a Catholic education. We consider ourselves your servants as you decide to entrust your child to St. Monica School. Please be assured that our priority is to provide an excellent program with a solid threefold foundation: a curriculum of the highest quality, the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, and, most importantly, a strong emphasis on Catholic identity.
Yours in Christ,

Catholic Identity
We are not of the world – we will change the world.
St. Monica Preschool in Kalamazoo, Michigan is proud to celebrate a Catholic identity that illumines our school with the light of faith. We offer many opportunities for Catholic formation that engage the mind, the will, and the heart.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Help me to come closer to God by myself.
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is based on the belief that children already have a relationship with God, but desire to understand it and celebrate it more fully. The Catechesis uses Montessori teaching principles, specially designed materials, and inspiring presentations to introduce and ponder mysteries of the faith and help each child’s relationship with God flourish.
