St Virgil Elementary School

At St. Virgil School, the goal of Catholic education is to work with parents in the intellectual and religious formation their students. A Catholic school will create a community that fosters intellectual curiosity, search for truth, moral growth, and healthy physical development, while allowing him or her to experience strong supportive relationships with others who hold common values in a climate of mutual respect and caring. Catholic education bears the dual responsibilities of providing a high quality academic education comparable to the best secular schools, while at the same time not only teaching students the Catholic faith but also providing the spiritual atmosphere which allows that teaching to be integrated into students’ lives. A Catholic School should nurture children spiritually and academically in an environment of Christian caring and respect and provide young people with a firm faith foundation as part of solid, challenging fundamental education.
