Our Mission

Each child is a gift from God and must be nurtured in an environment of love, support, tolerance and mutual respect.

Imparting knowledge of God and His creation is the reason for our school. The parents are the primary educators of their children and must support the school in the development of the gift of faith and love of learning.

Our school provides a program which meets the needs and nurtures the talents of our students. Our students go out into the community, not only to extend their knowledge but, also to extend their hands in service.
