PHILOSOPHY OF SAINT PAUL SCHOOL
Saint Paul School is a Catholic elementary school
committed to a three-fold purpose of educating youth:
* to teach the Good News of Jesus
* to build a Christian Community of Faith in
which we help students serve the needs of others and
themselves,
* to provide an academic atmosphere where each
individual is challenged to reach his/her highest level
of spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, and social
development.
Saint Paul School attempts to achieve this three-fold
purpose by helping each student attain a positive
self-image exemplified in self-discipline and
self-development. We advocate the right of the student to
be treated as an individual with opportunities to
exercise spontaneity and creativity in his/her daily
performance. By integrating religious values with
academic skills, we enable students to address, with a
Christian insight, the multiple problems which face
individuals and society today.
We recognize and appreciate that parents are the first
and foremost educators of their children. It is from
parents that the child receives basic direction for
formulating Christian moral values, intellectual goals,
and social development. At Saint Paul School, we make
every effort to further this development in our daily
involvement with each student. Teachers, administrators,
clergy, and parents cooperate as partners, ever mindful
that school supports the family.
