Our Mission and Vision

Our Beliefs

• We believe that God’s love empowers children to thrive and sets them on a lifelong path of academic excellence, spiritual growth, and personal achievement.

• We believe that each person is a child of God and should be treated with respect.

• We believe that parents and guardians are an essential element of the school community and we recognize their role as the primary educators of their children.

• We believe that service to others is rooted in our love for God and motivates us to love one another.

• We believe that through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother and Patroness of our school, we may know and love Jesus her Son and follow Him in all things.
