The Philosophy of St. Patrick School





St. Patrick School is a unique Christian community organized to foster the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth of each person in a spirit of dedication, freedom, and love that is based on the Gospel message.

We strive to give each child the necessary fundamentals of their faith to become good Christian adults. We realize that each child is special, possessing his or her own talents. We hope to develop these talents to their potential by teaching our students to have a respectful and responsible attitude, to think creatively and independently, to strive for excellence, and to be a faithful servant of our Lord.

Believing that the parents are the first and foremost educators of their children, we cooperate with and supplement the home in providing leadership (social graces) in the formal Catholic education of their children. As a faculty we work together, each developing our own subject area with professional competence, but sensitive to those opportunities to aid students in all aspects of their lives.

Religious themes arise naturally throughout each teaching day. Our attention to these themes help our students grow in knowledge and commitment to God, to the parish, and to the world in which we all live.
