Lower School - Pre-First Grade

The Pre-First program at Gerstell Academy is a potential point of entry for students seeking admission to Gerstell Academy.

The Pre-First year is designed for children who need additional time to develop academically, socially or emotionally. Pre-First provides the opportunity for children who have completed Kindergarten, but may require additional support to develop their skills. The confidence and achievement level gained in a Pre-First program will often continue to resonate throughout the early learning years. A Pre-First year is a gift of time.

More time is devoted for students to develop public speaking skills through individualized instruction. Students experience leadership development through our Falcon Friends program, the Winter Program, and events such as Field Day.
