Philosophy Statement

We believe that educators share with parents the privilege and responsibility of calling our students forth to the realization of who they are, what they are capable of becoming, and what their unique contributions to the global community can and will be.

We believe St. Paul the Apostle School, if it is to be truly Catholic, must be God-centered and that the Catholic faith must permeate every aspect of our lives.

We believe that our primary purpose in educating is to lead the child to know, love, and serve God and one another through spiritual, academic, physical, aesthetic, and social development.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE GROWTH OF THE CHILD;

  by nurturing with love and care the CHRIST-LIFE within the child.

  by calling forth from each child the God-given gifts of mind, heart, and body.

  by helping each child realize the fullness of daily life and a capability of sharing this celebration of life with others.

  by instilling a sense of personal and social responsibility through recognition of the
value of self discipline.

  by fostering the skills needed for life-long learning.

  by promoting an awareness of the value of the cultural diversity of our global
community.

It will be together as parents, teachers, and students—open to Jesus and His message—that we will strive to bring young people to their full potential.
