The mission of St. Simon the Apostle School is to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to each member of our faith community through Scripture and the celebration of Sacraments in a nurturing, positive, learning environment according to the example of Christ. The philosophy of St. Simon the Apostle School finds its center in the life and teachings of Jesus. We support and promote the four-fold mission of Catholic education. As a Catholic School, our efforts are concentrated on teaching authentic doctrine and delivering truth in all aspects. Jesus Christ is Himself the message- the center and focus of all our teaching and living. We consciously strive to build and live community. We pledge ourselves to foster mutual respect, care, openness, trust and Christian conduct with prayer together as a total community, so that Jesus may be the source of our unity. We believe that living and learning the Gospel of Jesus leads us to service. This service includes persons in our homes, school, neighborhood, as well as those in our parish, civic and world communities. We strive to reveal God's love and presence to the world. We come together to worship as a faith community. Through liturgical/paraliturgical planning and preparation, all members of the community celebrate the loving presence of Jesus Christ. Our emphasis is on fostering the development of each person's physical and spiritual potential in the light of his/her dignity as a child of God. We look upon our teaching as a ministry of redemptive love, reflecting the attitudes of Jesus. ...read more
