IB - Primary Years Program
St. Paul's Episcopal School became an authorized IB World School in July of 2006. We offer the Primary Years Program which incorporates an inquiry based curriculum and challenges students to become open-minded, knowledgeable, and caring citizens. You may view our Program of Inquiry on our website or visit the IBO website for more information.
 
St. Paul's City
Part of our strong academic program includes a focus on real-world knowledge. Students of all ages are able to gain understanding of the inner workings of a city through the St. Paul’s City initiative. Each grade level runs a specific business, and all students are taught how to use each business.
 
Academics
St. Paul's places emphasis on academic excellence within the framework of the Christian faith. The school is proud of its tradition for excellence and its continuing commitment to current best thinking in the field of education. Classroom experiences emphasize community building and collaboration in a threat free environment. An atmosphere of respect supports cooperative learning. Students integrate knowledge and skills across the content areas and employ problem-solving in a variety of contexts. St. Paul's experienced, innovative faculty build an academic foundation and provide opportunities for creativity and artistic expression. Our former students are always among the National Merit Scholars and are often identified by the Duke Talent Search Program.
 
Co-Curricular
Small classes taught in an atmosphere enriched with art, music, technology, Spanish, and athletics are St. Paul's hallmarks. Students are instructed in the skills necessary to employ these areas in their lives and to explore ways to express themselves through these avenues.
 
Athletics
Students in fourth through sixth grades are given the opportunity to participate in team competitive sports. Our St. Paul's Pacers compete against other schools in the Waco Private School League. Students may choose to participate in football, volleyball, or basketball.
 
Christian Education
As an Episcopal School, Christian Education plays an important role in what we do. 2 year old students through kindergarten attend Godly Play once each week. Godly Play uses unique sensory materials to explore stories of the Bible. Students in grades 1 through 6 attend chapel services twice weekly and are instructed in Christian Formation once each week. This class focuses on matters of both faith and practice.
 
After School Program
Extended care is available to families who need this. Students may stay at school until 5:30. All students are given a snack, time to complete homework if needed, and various activities each day.
