We strive to graduate students who are prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century and who have a commitment to peace, justice and service as taught in the Gospel. St. Patrick’s Catholic School provides a strong academic foundation for its students through quality education and development of a value system stressing religious and moral beliefs. The intellectual and ethnic diversity of each child is recognized through the development of self esteem and personal growth. Each child will be empowered to deal responsibly with the increasingly complex issues facing them as citizens of the world.
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT St. Patrick Catholic School provides a strong academic foundation for its students through quality education and development of a value system stressing religious and moral beliefs. The faculty and staff, as facilitators of learning, strive to provide a student-centered curriculum that encourages self-expression, embraces diversity and balances independent thought with cooperative effort. Technology supports the curriculum in which students are challenged with age appropriate lessons and taught the basic skills needed to become life long learners. Emphasis is placed on providing students with the critical thinking skills needed to be independent, self-directed and cooperative problem solvers who can read and communicate effectively through written, oral and multi-media presentations. The school strives to accomplish these goals in a Christ centered atmosphere rich in Catholic tradition and Gospel values, which fosters a sense of service to others. The school recognizes the fact that parents have the primary responsibility for the religious and academic upbringing of their children and that the school exists to help parents accomplish this goal.
