and to produce students well versed in the arts and sciences,

capable of facing the complex challenges of today and tomorrow.

We strive to instill in each child a sense of self-worth,

an enthusiasm for lifelong learning,

and relating of life issues to God.

Our philosophy is to challenge our students

to be respectful, caring members of our world

able to celebrate individuality,

and use their gifts and the Earth's resources wisely -

thereby giving witness to the presence of God among us.
