Saint Valentine School

Our purpose for existing is to develop in our students the attitudes, understandings, habits, and skills necessary for Christian Catholic living in our American democratic society. We strive to make the children of our school aware of the call to service in the community, exemplified in the message and values of the Gospel.

Our objectives are to encourage and foster all areas of learning by attempting to educate the total child: spiritually, mentally, morally, aesthetically, and physically. We encourage learning experiences which will take the students into the community and bring the community into the classroom. Of primary importance is our commitment to prayer, values, and the development of a Catholic identity in our members.

We work to achieve these objectives by providing a sound religious program based on Catholic doctrine, attitudes, and values. As a community, we participate in student liturgies, reception of the sacraments, prayer services, and seasonal para-liturgical functions for the parish community. Academically, we provide language arts and math instruction allowing each student to progress at his/her own rate according to their abilities and needs. All other arts and sciences are presented in a sequential curriculum to enhance the skills and talents of the students, with special emphasis on peace and justice. Such gospel values which are the fabric of tomorrow's adults.

These goals and objectives are implemented by a staff who serve as role models for the students. Through their religious and academic certification and continuing education, the teachers exemplify how the Christian life is to be lived and achieved. P.T.G. activities, service projects, and programs for students, parents, and faculty serve to involve the home, parish, and community in our faith-centered program.
