Home School Program
From the desk of headmaster Phuong Nguyen:
“We at St. Bernard Preparatory School are encouraged by parents who work diligently to lead their children in both their academic education and their moral upbringing. Home schooling is no small undertaking and parents who steward their children with such grace and courage inspire us. Through our Home School Program at St. Bernard, we hope to be a small piece in your child’s educational journey and come alongside you as you lead your children towards a life of virtue and a love of learning. In this program, your child will have the chance to be a part of small classroom environment, to grow in knowledge, and have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities that will encourage growth in spirit and skill.
We look forward to a chance to work with your family in the coming years. How can we serve you?”
