School Highlights

AT A GLANCE: CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Our school currently serves 240+ students, grades PreK2 – 6th (ages 2 – 12) who benefit from St. Philip’s rigorous, nurturing, and dynamic Christian based education.

“Teaching kindergarten has been both a challenge and a blessing.”

Early Childhood Highlights (PreK2 – Kindergarten)

St. Philip’s thirty-three Kindergarten students and their teachers – Tameka Selders and Joe Yow - live out their classroom motto daily – “PAPPOM, PAPPOM!” or “Put Away Paper, Pull Out Manipulatives!” Mrs. Selders and Mr. Yow understand that “nothing builds success like success,” and are giving this energetic group every opportunity for success. In addition to the myriad of experiences offered on a daily basis, Kindergarten Accelerated Math (KAM), an afterschool enrichment program, was launched this year to catapult Kinder’s high achieving math students to the next level.

Primary Highlights (1st – 3rd Grade)

The Dallas Museum of Art hosted the Young Artists Program and Exhibition. At the 50th Annual Art Ball Gala, our 3rd Grade students’ art project entitled “Distorted Self-Images” was showcased. The project featured imagined portraits of the students as Centenarians.

Middle School Highlights (4th – 6th Grade)

Eighteen of our middle school students and a few alumni are participating in the STAIRS Program. STAIRS, now in its fifteenth year, offers our students a “step up” in preparation for them to attend and succeed at the most competitive college preparatory high schools in the Dallas area. Participants will be offered academic enrichment sessions for the next three years and ‘give back’ by participating in numerous service learning projects.

“Here at St. Philip’s we are blooming because our roots are planted and growing in God’s good soil. We are upheld by others in prayer when we struggle, and we are challenged to become all that God wants us to be.”
