Each parent is the primary source and teacher of life-giving values for the student. This relationship is followed by a partnership of parent, teacher and staff that supports the continued development of these values.  We see active participation in the liturgical and sacramental life of the Church as a vital part of the role of the parent. 

Children learn best when they feel secure; therefore we believe in the need to build a child's self-direction as well as to foster trust relationships between teacher and student.  We believe each child has his or her own learning style which we address by providing a variety of teaching techniques that actively involve the child in the learning process. Students are expected to work to their full ability and potential, to show leadership and to be aware of their role within the school community.   As Christian witnesses, they are to assume responsibility and respect for themselves and others. 

The role of the teacher is to be a model of Catholic Christian values and to create an environment conducive to learning within an atmosphere of openness to the needs of the students.  We encourage students to take risks, accept challenges, and profit from their mistakes.  All of these are a natural part of the learning experience.
