The St. Isidore School community is a vital part of the St. Isidore Parish.
We share in the teaching mission of the parish.
Teachers, staff and parents share the Good News of the Kingdom of God with our children.
As a school community, we endeavor to grow in Catholic faith, life, tradition, service and prayer.
Families are encouraged to worship together as a visible sign of their faith.
At St. Isidore School we strive to communicate and to develop respect, trust, peace and faith in a Catholic atmosphere.
The purpose of a Catholic school is to impart the spirit and message of the Gospel into each student as well as advance each toward academic success. Our discipline philosophy is based on the Commandments, and Jesus' law of love.
To bring a child to the Christian perfection to which we are called is a gift of Jesus through the mediation of the spirit, but the gift requires our cooperation. The whole school is family oriented.
