Philosophy

We believe….

† children are the center of our concern and the reason for us being here.

† quality Catholic education calls us to integrate Gospel teachings and values with real life.

† all secular subjects need to be taught in the light of these values.

† parents are the primary educators of their children; therefore, we work closely with them in both the school and parish context.

† students of all faiths, ethnic origins, and economic levels contribute to our world community; thus we welcome all students and strive to create an environment that reflects the dignity of each person.

† the faith shared with parents, teachers, and students is nourished by prayer and worship within the total life of our school and parish community.

† students reach their individual potential by thinking clearly, forming strong convictions, and acting in ways consonant with their beliefs for the betterment of their own lives, their Church, and society as a whole.
