​Philosophy

St. Catherine of Siena School is a Catholic community of students, parents, faculty, administrators and clergy. Our program strives to build upon the work of the parent as primary educator, the Church community, and the larger society that contributes to our students' education. We complement the work of parents in fostering Catholic Christian values and commit ourselves to providing the academic skills that will allow children to realize their full potential.

We believe in providing an environment in which faith, culture and everyday life are brought into harmony. The program at St. Catherine of Siena School is based on the fact that each child is a unique and unrepeatable gift of God's love. As a result, each member of our community is respected and valued as one created in the image of God.

We believe that through dedication and concern, each child can and will learn and will mature into a loving, just, and responsible person. We are firmly committed to live and teach by this philosophy, keeping in mind the aims of Catholic education as stated by the Bishops of the United States in their document: "To Teach as Jesus Did: Imparting the Gospel Message, Building Community and Giving Service."
