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.
