St. Ignatius Catholic School will provide a Christian education through the cooperation of our families, the primary teachers of our children.
Guided by the Holy Spirit, the love of God, and Christ-like living, we will provide a Catholic Heritage of faith; a strong academic curriculum; an emphasis on Christian/family values; a safe and orderly learning environment; and appropriate enrichment programs.
The purpose of St. Ignatius School is to prepare loyal, mature Catholics, informed by the authority of the Church which teaches the truth and law of God, as a guide to a well ordered life.
We try to provide students with an orderly learning environment which encourages each to achieve all that they are capable of.
We strive to develop inquiring and concerned young people by helping them to make prudent choices of the many alternatives that exist in our society.
Emphasis on respect for the person and personal feelings of each student is stressed.
The ultimate goal of St. Ignatius School is to evolve a committed Catholic who enthusiastically proclaims and lives the Christian life and who is loyal to both self and God.
