We are a LIVE virtual program working to meet the needs of families with children ages 0-5 years. You can explore our classes with our VESS Curriculum – approved by the Florida School Readiness Program and recognized worldwide for its evidence-based approach to the development of the whole child. Our online program provides children 0-5 years old with the richest and most wholesome early learning experience at home. Our professional educators have developed a complete experience-based program that targets all academic areas to get children feeling ready and excited about kindergarten, while having in mind that life goes way beyond academics and should also nurture life-long love for learning, independence and an array of Thinking Skills. Literacy, math and science, are all targeted. We are confident that children learn best through fun, hands-on, minds-on exploration, novelty, collaboration, bonding and connection to real life. These concepts are core to any of our classes. Concept Maps, Graphs, Visible Thinking and other brain-based teaching strategies are utilized to help children truly learn and develop their young minds. Our virtual preschool program fits any family’s schedule, needs and interests. The goal of our program is to promote literacy, mathematical and scientific skills in an engaging hands-on, minds-on format that excites children about learning, getting them ready to thrive in kindergarten and beyond. Children 3-5 years explore academic concepts hands-on and minds-on through cooking, engineering, performing science experiments and exploring books together, allowing them to experience how these concepts work in real life. Our teachers provide a wholesome learning experience that prepares children academically while also developing critical Thinking Skills: a problem solving mindset, creativity and innovation, analytical skills, a love for learning, social skills, and independence. Our complete program provides approximately 2 daily hours of live class time in small groups of 11 children divided by age. All classes are offered in 3 different schedules daily. Younger children are offered shorter class times to fit their levels of readiness and interest, all the while including all of these concepts. We currently offer a 2 week free trial.

Committed to academic excellence and rooted in faith, St. Mark teaches the whole child: mind, body and spirit.
A nationally recognized curriculum incorporating STEAM programming and a state-of-the-art, curriculum based SmartLab® technology facility combine with highly qualified teachers, faith formation, service to others, interactive hands-on projects, a growth mindset, fine arts, physical education, and a focus on the parent/teacher/student relationship.

By working together, the St. Mark community builds the solid foundation that 21st century students need for a successful future and a lifelong love of learning.
Education is about more than test scores and academic outcomes. Where can your child get prepared for the next level of learning and develop a readiness and resilience that will stay with them for their lifetime? Catholic schools provide an exemplary education for students of all faiths in a nurturing environment that supports each child’s development as a whole person.
