School Life
Declaration on Christian Education
"Among all educational instruments the school has a special importance. It is designed not only to develop with special care the intellectual faculties but also to form the ability to judge rightly, to hand on the cultural legacy of previous generations, to foster a sense of values, to prepare for professional life. Between pupils of different talents and backgrounds, it promotes friendly relations and fosters a spirit of mutual understanding; and, it establishes, as it were, a center whose work and progress must be shared together by families, teachers, and associations of various types…"
Proclaimed by His Holiness,
Pope Paul VI
There’s nothing elementary about teaching young children. These are crucial years and they’ll figure largely in the kind of student—and person—your child will become.
At Saint Patrick, we believe that a child’s individual strengths form the path to successful learning. Here, children aren’t taught at; they’re taught to—to be insightful, faithful, successful people who use their knowledge and understanding to live wisely and with compassion.
It’s a seamless integration of faith and life founded on a challenging curriculum that encourages questions and helps develop critical thinking ability. Strong communication skills, math and science, foreign languages, the arts and humanities—they’re all a part of a rich academic mix that creates a life-long love of learning.
Fourth Grade students Brittany and Renee visit with school architect John Tymoff. The students requested the exploratory meeting to discuss the addition of a Garden Grotto to the Saint Patrick Catholic School campus.
