Philosophy Statement

We are part of a team where students, staff, families, and the broader faith

community work together for the benefit of all. Guided by the teachings of Jesus,

we nurture each child’s dignity and respect for others while helping them live out

the Gospel message in their everyday lives. We celebrate the unique gifts God has

given every student and support each learner’s individual needs. By encouraging

children to always do their best, take pride in their work, and use their talents to

help others, we strive to help every child grow in faith, knowledge, and love.
