Based on the belief that God has created humanity as a fitting vessel for divine life and has given that divine life to human-kind most fully in the person of Jesus Christ, we affirm that the human person must be challenged and enabled to grow to wholeness through relationship to Jesus Christ and other persons.

It is in the atmosphere enlivened by the Gospel spirit of justice and charity that the child will be drawn to know himself/herself as an intelligent, creative, responsive, responsible, and loving being whose potential for greatness goes beyond himself or herself. It is in the Christian Community of the school that he/she will know himself/herself and other persons as fragile, sensitive, joyful, playful, and worthy of respect. Children need one another; the gift of self to others leads to a true knowledge of self.

The curriculum of St. Patrick’s School encompasses this philosophy and seeks the education of the whole child. The goals of our curriculum seek to recognize and meet the individual needs of all students through academic challenge, development of leadership, individual creativity, and Christian responsibility. All aspects of the curriculum are ultimately directed to God and how the child learns to love and respect life, beauty, and his/her physical growth. The educational process leads young people to choose Christian values, since the person of Christ is the model they come to know as the perfection of all that is human. Through the development of self-discipline, self-motivation, and self-reflection, students learn critical thinking, and prophetic decision making, thereby becoming prepared to cope with life. Ultimately, students will be able to immerse themselves completely in life and bring new hope for the future in the imitation of Lord Jesus.

Our students, the adult Catholics of the 21st Century, will possess the skills, attitudes and values necessary to be contributing members of society.

Because of their deep reverence for all of God’s creations, students will share their gifts and talents in promoting a sense of respect, dignity, and equality for all, especially for the poor and needy.

Their strong belief in the providential love of God will enable them to face the challenges and responsibilities associated with this complex technological age.

We believe that: 

  • Prayers should be omnipresent in our lives. 
  • All individuals have the responsibility to act as stewards of God's world and to be of service to others. 
  • Children's differences are a gift from God and should be celebrated. 
  • Each child has the right to learn in a safe, well-maintained, and loving environment. 
  • For education to have positive results, we as teachers must develop and accept each child holistically, spiritually, interllectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. 
  • Education is a partnership between parents, the primary educators, and students, school community, and government. 
  • Competence in educational technology is imperative. 
  • Children express themselves creatively through the arts. 
  • Academic excellence is attainable.
