Overview
St. Jerome Catholic School is a vibrant community of learners in the historic Bridgeport neighborhood, celebrating our faith, providing students with a strong academic foundation, and looking forward to the future. We serve students from PreK-8th grade at our two campus locations, Santa Lucia Early Learning Campus and St. Jerome for Middle School, 4th-8th grade.
We, at Bridgeport Catholic Academy, believe that the purpose of education is to create a Christian community living the values of the Gospel in which the children and teachers are stimulated to learn, think, share, and develop individual skills.
Our goal is that we become useful, productive, and active members of an ever-changing society.
We believe that the role of the parent/guardian is to be the primary teacher of Christian values, working with the teacher actively supporting and encouraging their children in the learning process.
At Bridgeport Catholic Academy, we believe the parents are an integral part of their child's educational development.
