St. Bernardine Catholic School (Closed 2010)

St. Bernardine's Catholic School's (SBCS) main purpose is to provide a high quality Catholic education in a spiritual atmosphere focused on Jesus Christ and steeped in Gospel values.
In partnership with parents SBCS endeavors to educate its students in their total growth: spiritual, moral, emotional, intellectual, social, and physical.
Specifically, our goals for every student are to stimulate the mind; to foster a creative curiosity; to develop the body; to encourage sharing of God-given gifts; to inspire personal holiness; and to teach the responsibilities of leadership.
SBCS aspires to create a developmentally appropriate learning environment which motivates, challenges, and stimulates intellectual growth and development.
However, our faculty recognizes that this intellectual growth and development of our students within an academically diverse population, occurs in many different ways.
Therefore, they employ a variety of strategies, techniques, and technology to stimulate interests, identify student's strengths and areas of need, as well as to assess and modify the SBCS programs.
