UPA

We bring a Christian perspective to learning from preschool through grade 12. Alongside academics, we make room for students’ social, emotional, physical and spiritual growth, with athletics and community activities as part of school life.

The first dedicated St. Paul schoolhouse, with two classrooms, was dedicated in 1925 and is still in use. The Benedictine Sisters first staffed our school, which grew to more than 800 children in the 1960s and now serves about 260 students from preschool through junior high in Florence. We were named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 2014. For more than 25 years a certified learning disabilities teacher has been on our staff, and we serve students with needs ranging from ADHD to specific learning disabilities. Core subjects are Religion, English, Reading, Spelling, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics, with Physical Education, Music, Art, Social Emotional Learning, Spanish, and Library. We operate under the guidelines of the Diocese of Covington and are accredited by the state of Kentucky. St. Paul Catholic Preschool introduces young children to the school and parish, and the AlphaBEST extended day program covers families before and after school. Our parent teacher organization runs events such as the annual Blue and Gold Bash.

This community is accessible any time day or night, builds connection with other families, brings OT directly to you and provides ongoing therapy training and techniques for children with a variety of disabilities. The goal is to remove some of the barriers in accessing OT, whether that is provider availability, transportation, scheduling or finances. I aim to bring amazing sessions every week to engage you and your kiddos!
