About the School
- We, the Mater Dolorosa School Community, believe in the Catholic School as a form of education; unique because it integrates religious, academic, social and physical truths and values.
- We believe that Mater Dolorosa is a place where Christian values are modeled, expressed and incorporated into all activities, so that they are developed and nurtured in each person in accordance with the Gospel values.
- We believe that our school exists to promote positive learning experiences that develop personal growth in the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values.
