Philosophy Of Our School

We believe each student to be a sacred human person, guided through life by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit toward his ultimate goal of union with God.

The purpose of our school is to provide students the opportunity to experience Christian community among themselves and with their family and the parish, so that they may live a fulfilled, Catholic Christian life.

We do all in our power to promote the intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of our students. We do this by offering a course of studies in basic elementary education, keeping up with the latest developments in technology and theories of learning.

We promote each student's spiritual life by well-planned liturgies, prayers, sacramental services and religious instruction. We also encourage our students to be active members of the parish through participation in liturgies, activities and service.

We strive to ensure each child's emotional growth by recognizing the critical importance of his/her development as persons, and do all in our power to affirm the sacredness of each person's self-concept. We also work for the unity of the family and the mutual respect of each member.

We promote physical development by appropriate health and physical education programs.

We strive to develop in our students the skills necessary to become good citizens and valuable members of society, and attitudes of responsibility to oneself and others in the promotion of universal brotherhood and sisterhood--the basis for authentic justice and enduring peace.
