Choosing the right kindergarten sets the tone for your child’s entire academic journey. At Royalmont Academy in Mason, Ohio, our Catholic Kindergarten program offers more than just early academics. We provide a nurturing, faith-filled environment where young learners are known, loved, and formed in both intellect and character.

Whether you’re new to the area, looking for a more personalized experience, or seeking a Christ-centered alternative to larger schools, Royalmont may be the right fit for your family.

A Faith-Filled Start to Lifelong Learning

At Royalmont Academy, faith is not an add-on — it’s the foundation. In Kindergarten, children begin their day in prayer, learn about God’s love through Scripture stories, and participate in school-wide Mass and Adoration.

This early introduction to spiritual formation helps children develop compassion, confidence, and a strong moral compass grounded in the truth of the Catholic faith.

Small Class Sizes, Big Impact

One of the most significant benefits of our Kindergarten program is the small class size. With no more than 22 students per class, every child receives the attention they need to thrive. Our teachers build deep relationships with students, tailoring instruction and offering the support necessary to help each child flourish.

This level of individual care helps young learners develop confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning from the very start.

A Strong Start in Reading with Orton-Gillingham

Reading is one of the most essential skills a child learns in Kindergarten. That’s why Royalmont’s Kindergarten teacher uses the Orton-Gillingham method, a highly respected, multi-sensory approach to teaching reading.

This approach is particularly effective for developing early literacy. It breaks reading into manageable parts, reinforcing skills through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic techniques. Whether your child is just beginning to decode words or already showing signs of early reading, this method helps lay a strong foundation for future success.

Human and Social Development from Day One

Kindergarten isn’t just about academics. At Royalmont, we’re committed to forming the whole child. Through our Human Formation program, children learn to practice self-control, kindness, patience, and teamwork. Classroom jobs, buddy programs, and regular movement breaks help students develop socially and emotionally in age-appropriate ways.

Even at this early stage, we begin forming students through Regnum Christi’s four dimensions: Intellectual, Human, Spiritual, and Apostolic. Formation happens through both structured activities and the daily interactions that shape a child’s heart and habits.

A Safe and Joyful Environment

Parents consistently tell us how much they value the peace and order their children experience at Royalmont. Our team is committed to creating a safe, joyful, and structured environment where children are free to explore, ask questions, and build friendships.

We also follow the Boys Town model of discipline, which focuses on teaching social skills and reinforcing positive behavior through clear expectations and consistent support.
