School Philosophy

Prayer, Contemplation, and Compassion. As a community of educators and learners, we incorporate these gifts from the charism of Mary into our Mission Statement towards fostering the growth of students’ spirituality, academic potential, and community involvement:

• We pray so that we may become more Active (God/Conscious) Christians and grow in spiritual awareness.
• We are called to be compassionate so that we may grow in commitment to community, becoming Active Community Builders and Responsible Global Citizens.
• We are called to be contemplative in an awareness of all God’s gifts to us, so that we may realize our full spiritual and academic potential.

We believe that the charism of Mary through our faithfulness and prayer will collaboratively guide parents, students, and members of our larger Catholic community. It is through this charism in partnership with Mary that our students will grow spiritually and academically.
