School Notes
St. Jerome School is a Catholic School dedicated to the total
growth and development of the Christian child.
The faculty and staff recognize the dignity and differences of
individual students.
Therefore, they strive to develop each child's spiritual,
intellectual, emotional, physically and social potential within a
caring environment.
The mission of St. Jerome School is to educate the whole child:
physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.
In doing so we hope that each child follows the teachings of
Jesus Christ and His Gospel teachings, becomes life long learners,
people of prayer, service and community building.
In cooperation with the parents, the primary educators, the
faculty strives to provide academic excellence in a setting that
attempts to implement the values and traditions of the Catholic
Church.
While recognizing the homogeneous character of the school,
programs and projects are designed to extend the focus from their
personal culture and the world around them.
The emphasis must be that each child respects the dignity of
every human being.
