Philosophy
St.
Perpetua School is a Catholic educational community within St. Perpetua
Parish. Clergy, administration, faculty and staff work in
cooperation with parents and students to impart the Christian
message and to pass on the history and traditions of the
Catholic Church. Students are taught to view life according to
the teachings of Jesus Christ while they are encouraged to
develop a sense of social justice and a desire to serve others.
The
faculty and staff work in partnership with parents, the
primary educators, for the development of the whole child:
spiritually, academically, socially, and physically. Students
experience the positive benefits of self-esteem,
responsibility, discipline, and community in a secure, caring Christian
atmosphere. They are challenged to attain their academic
potential in an environment that promotes accountability,
independence, leadership and a love of learning.
We
believe each student, as a unique creation of God, has
abilities to be developed and shared. We believe the goal of
Catholic education is to support students as they move toward
becoming life-long learners and competent future citizens.
St. Perpetua students are prepared to meet the challenges of our
society through developing skills in accountability, independence,
leadership, and scholarship. Our mission statement drives the school's
nurturing environment, which focuses on Catholic values and high
academic standards.
