PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
St. Patrick School provides a quality Infant Care through Eighth grade education emphasizing the growth of the whole person in the Catholic tradition. We graduate students who are prepared to meet the challenges of the twenty first century and who have a commitment to peace, justice, and service as taught in the Gospel. 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 an innovative, student-centered curriculum that encourages self-expression, embraces and celebrates diversity, is culturally responsive and equitable, and balances independent thought with cooperative effort. Technology is embedded in the curriculum and students are challenged with age-appropriate lessons using 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.
