School History
Overview
Francis Parker: A Progressive Education We are truly "the School of Thought" a diverse community that emphasizes meeting students where they are in an atmosphere of individual acceptance, kindness and belonging; a Preschool 12th grade school that is focused on the process of learning through a progressive education and a joyful student experience.
We respect children and young adults as curious scientists and mathematicians, as creative writers and artists, and as changemakers for a more just and equitable world.
By joining St. Aloysius you are joining not only a school or a church, but a faith community.
We are a family that comforts one another in hardship, depends upon one another for success, and rejoices together in the many blessings God has bestowed on us.
Our students enjoy the comforts of modern technology with SmartBoards, Chromebooks, and iPads available to all classes.
Yet, we also have the personal touches of big brothers/sisters for primary students, a middle school community system, and a dedicated faculty and staff that sponsor over 20 extracurricular activities.
Beyond the traditional academics, St. Aloysius School is first and foremost a Catholic institution promoting the understanding and appreciation of our Catholic faith.
