"Wake Up MQP!: Each morning, students watch a student- and faculty-produced morning show called "Wake Up MQP!" The show is broadcast to each classroom and students take turns serving as anchors, leading morning prayers, the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. Community and school items of interest are also featured. Parents are welcome to view the show in the school Boardroom. The show starts at 7:55 a.m. and lasts five to ten minutes.

8th Grade Angels: Each kindergarten student is assigned an eighth grade student to be his/her "Eighth Grade Angel". These angels welcome kindergarteners to MQP, escort them to All-School Masses and communicate with them throughout the year. They also escort them through the Halloween parade and kindergarten graduation.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Montessori based religion program that includes a hands-on space where children hear, ponder and celebrate the word of God, is currently offered to preschool 3s through third grade. As part of this religious formation, the children gather in an “atrium,” a room which contains simple yet beautiful materials including things such as sculpted apostles around the Last Supper Table and a small altar that helps them learn about the Eucharist.

Stewardship: MQP students are actively involved in our school Stewardship Program from preschool through 8th grade. The program strives to teach our students that service is indeed a way of life! It emphasizes sharing our gifts from God to serve those in need. Students, teachers, staff and parent volunteers work together by grade to serve others.

Aftercare: After school care is available on site for students in preschool through age 12 from 3:00 PM-5:00 PM.
