Mission & Philosophy
St. Catherine of Siena School, deeply rooted in its Catholic faith, fosters spiritual development, academic excellence and a commitment to serve others.
St. Catherine of Siena School is first and foremost a Catholic school. Each student is a child of God, made in His image and likeness. We partner with parents and guardians — who we support in their role as primary educators (Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity) — to help each child reach their full potential and be, in the words of our patron saint, who God meant them to be.
At St. Catherine of Siena School, students receive the intellectual, spiritual and moral formation which serves as a foundation into adulthood. St. Catherine of Siena School, through its committed faculty and staff, nurtures a faith community that reaches beyond the school building.
We believe that our Catholic faith drives our mission as a school.
We believe that education is “a matter of the heart” (St. John Bosco).
We believe that a quality education forms the whole child: spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional and physical.
We believe that all students deserve a safe and nurturing environment.
We believe our students should be given the opportunity to develop their unique talents and abilities.
We believe our students are being prepared to become lifelong learners, contributing members of society, and saints.
“We are pleased beyond measure with the Catholic foundation SCS has helped lay for our daughter. The traditional Catholic education and warm school spirit have enhanced her early years of learning, and will be with her for a lifetime.”
