Our Approach
A child-centered approach to lifelong learning
We believe every child is capable, curious, and full of potential. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum values exploration, creativity, and real-world learning. Indoors and outdoors, children co-create knowledge with teachers, peers, and nature itself. If you value outdoor time, hands-on learning, creativity, and a nurturing, faith-based environment, we might be the place for you.

About us
Rooted in purpose, growing with care
Our mission
At First Presbyterian School, we honor the worth and dignity of every child. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired approach nurtures the whole child — intellectually, socially, spiritually, and physically — through hands-on learning and meaningful relationships. Rooted in Christian values and open to all faiths, we believe each child learns best when seen, heard, and respected.
Our story
Founded in 1981 as a preschool, our school has grown into a vibrant community serving students ages 1 to 14. Guided by dedicated educators and supported by First Presbyterian Church of El Paso, we’ve expanded to include elementary and middle school programs while remaining true to our whole-child, child-centered philosophy.
Inspired by Reggio Emilia
Children are powerful learners. At First Pres, we follow their questions and curiosity, inviting them to construct knowledge through art, play, projects, nature, and collaboration. Our environments — indoors and out — are designed to spark creativity and connection.
