ST. CATHERINE LABOURÉ SCHOOL
Mission Statement
Inspired
by the message and teachings of Jesus Christ, St. Catherine Labouré
School is committed to excellence in Catholic education, serving
students in preschool through eighth grade. Our goal is to provide
students with a strong foundation in the beliefs and practices of their
faith, challenging academics, and opportunities for service and
leadership development, thus empowering students to make a positive
difference in the world. In partnership with parents, we are dedicated
to educating the whole child in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating
environment honoring the richly diverse backgrounds within our school
community.
Statement of Philosophy
St.
Catherine Labouré School is a community of believers who bear witness
to the Gospel of Jesus Christ by helping families guide their children
in Catholic Christian values, the love of God, and the love of
neighbor. As members of this community, students grow to understand
that serving and supporting others is a transforming influence in the
world and a means to personal happiness.
In
an atmosphere that is both stimulating and nurturing, all students are
encouraged to develop their intellectual abilities and talents to be
effective participants in tomorrow's society. We achieve this by
providing a challenging academic curriculum that includes technology,
fine arts, foreign language, and physical education. Through this
comprehensive program, our students gain the knowledge and skills to
become lifelong learners who think independently, logically, critically
and creatively.
In
partnership with parents, teachers lead students to be confident,
competent and compassionate Catholic citizens who respect themselves and
others. We are blessed with a multi-cultural community where our
students learn to appreciate and celebrate diversity. Through
project-based learning, team-building activities, and opportunities for
leadership, our students learn to make sound decisions, accept
responsibility for their actions, and speak-up for others.
Through
the integration of faith, academics, service and integrity, we prepare
our students to become Catholic leaders of tomorrow who recognize that
God, above all, is the foundation for a purpose-filled life.
