St. Vincent de Paul School offers an educational program of academic excellence within a Christ-centered community. The school exists to provide its students with a strong foundation of academic and life skills that are developed and nurtured within a faith-filled environment. St. Vincent de Paul School respects the uniqueness of each child and the diversity of talents within its school family. The school devises curriculum to meet the needs of each child - challenging each student to his or her full potential. St. Vincent de Paul School strives to develop the many dimensions of a child. In the area of spiritual growth, the school, working with the parents, provides each student with the opportunity to grow in their faith, and, thereby develop a sound moral basis for life. In the area of academics, the school, working with the parent, provides each student with the opportunity to develop a sound basis for life. The extension of gospel values permeates the total curriculum. This integration of faith is an important factor in developing programs to meet the needs of the students intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally. The ideals of this philosophy can only be fulfilled through a spirit of cooperation shared by each of the three major groups of our school family - school staff, parents, and students. This school recognizes the need for each group to accept the responsibility of openness to one another - sharing ideas and growing together - in mutual respect and encouragement - thus building a valuable academic experience within a total faith community. |
