St. Patrick School

Philosophy

We hope to assist each child to become aware of his or her own worth and integrity as a human person. We seek to develop the potential of every student as a member of the human family to which each must respond as a creature destined for union with God. It is our aim to instill in our students values that will enable them to make responsible choices as members of the Christian community.
