United by Catholic faith, our mission is to form a community of life-long learners growing in body, mind and spirit.
We believe that each student is an individual child of God with unique, spiritual, physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs; students are instructed in the basic teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church; staff, students, and parents are encouraged to develop a sense of Christian community by their words and their actions; Liturgical Prayer is a major component of the faith formation of every student; the student is the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school; all students can learn; therefore, curriculum and instructional practices should incorporate a variety of learning activities to accommodate differences in learning styles; students need to demonstrate their understanding of essential knowledge and skills, as well as be actively involved in solving problems and producing quality work; and assessments of student learning should provide students with a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.
A student's self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff. A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.
