Our Mission

St. Catherine of Alexandria School provides a Christ-centered Catholic environment where all students are challenged to achieve their personal best spiritually, academically, and culturally. We are committed to educating the whole child, promoting excellence, and modeling compassion. We are a community of believers enlightened by knowledge and enriched by faith.

 Philosophy

The administration, faculty, and parents of St. Catherine of Alexandria School are dedicated to the education, formation, and growth of the whole child, spiritually, academically, and culturally, consistent with all Catholic teachings and beliefs. In fulfilling this team effort, we recognize parents as the primary educators of their children.

We strive to teach our students that all human life is precious, that each human being should be treated with dignity, tolerance, and respect, and that we recognize ourselves as God’s gift to each other. As members of a global community, we expect our students to answer their baptismal call to holiness by serving others, to accept others and their differences, and to recognize that everyone is created in God’s image, filling a special place in this world.

Because of the diverse needs of our children, we are willing to listen, change, modify, and adapt to address the individuality and uniqueness of each student.

We challenge our students to be effective communicators, problem solvers, and life-long learners who aspire to achieve their unlimited potential. We encourage students to believe in their abilities, and to trust in their own judgment, while providing them with the tools that hold them accountable for their actions. We believe that an emphasis on good study skills and work habits will guide their academic achievements. We require students to apply techniques and strategies through technology explorations, collaborations, and group experiences, to prepare them for leadership, responsibility and life-long success.

Student and Parent Philosophy of Educational Accountability

When parents register their children with St. Catherine of Alexandria School, all children are accepted with the understanding that this school is the most appropriate placement for each, and that the student intends to complete his/her education in earnest and integrity in this Catholic environment. A student and his parents will therefore exhibit effort and conduct that bears out this presumption at all times. Failure to make proper use of the opportunities given to succeed appropriately in academic progress or in conduct at St. Catherine of Alexandria School should lead to consequences which include curtailment or withdrawal of any or all privileges of enrollment here. Each student and parent/guardian commit to familiarizing themselves with this handbook and to adhere to all rules and requirements contained in it. All will adhere to any regulations adopted and announced by the Administration of the school in the course of the school year as having the same force as those printed in this handbook (and supercede it). All commit themselves to positive engagement of disputes. Recourse to any dispute resolution shall be first with the teacher, then the principal and then the pastor of the parish, and done in the context of Christian charity.
