Throughout the year age level groups gather for active learning experiences based on a theme that explores a teaching or tradition of the church. These events are held during regular PSR times.

Home Study
Families may request to home school their children except during sacrament years (Age 6,7, 14 and 15). All home school families must complete PSR registration, and a Home Study Plan to be submitted to the PSR office and approved by the pastor. Once approved, participants must attend a Home School Orientation and complete quarterly reviews to remain in good standing. The fee for Home School is the same as regular PSR.
